“…Some technological and human hazards are associated with natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear radiation. Other human-made disasters like Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 (Acquilla et al 2005), Chernobyl nuclear plant explosion in 1986 (WHO 2006), cholera outburst in Haiti in 2010 (Frerichs et al 2012), and terrorist attack on New York City in September 2001 (Gotham and Greenberg 2008) are human-made disasters. Besides the loss of thousands of life, these disasters affect the health of human and environment.…”

The word "recovery" incepted from Anglo-French "recoverie" since mid-14C which was defined to "return to health" (online etymology dictionary). Besides health science, it is used in technology, infrastructure, business, etc. to return back to previous stage. Disaster impacts in multisectors and disaster recovery means to recover the disrupted living conditions of disaster-affected people, restore the damaged physical assets, and rehabilitate the associated social and economic conditions. It is a process in which an individual or a community prepares for the post-disaster management including formulation of policies, regulations, plan, and strategies, provisioning of resources based on need assessment, and effectively implementing the interventions during emergency, recovery, and longer-term restoration. Recovery is the action of the restoration or revitalization of economic, physical, social, cultural, and environmental assets of disaster-affected people considering the principles of sustainable development and "build back better" (UNISDR 2017). Recovery action also includes preparedness, reconstruction, and rehabilitation activities after disasters with enhancing the resilient capacity building (Smith et al. 2018, 596). The disaster recovery is defined based on subject, context, and situation that depend on the financial and managerial capacity of government and communities and their coordination with other international and national organizations/agencies to restore critical physical infrastructures and socioeconomic and environmental and policy and planning pre-/ post-event of disaster.
