Pre-disaster emergency planning is an emerging best-practice for towns, cities, and countries for building resilience to hazards. There are no standard templates for implementing pre-disaster recovery plans. Different communities have developed their plans in their ways. These plans require a holistic approach. They take into consideration sustainable land use, environmental restoration, and infrastructure redevelopment. All stakeholders need to be involved in this process. The involvement of diverse participants provides additional capacity to a community post-disaster.
