“…It consists of common minimum standards that are not limited to any kind of disaster (UNDP, 2013). The output of PDNA helps facilitate decision making of actors involved in relief chains and long-term recovery needs (Hinzpeter and Sandholz, 2018). Figure 9 depicts the recovery strategy in PDNA.…”

Purpose An understanding of the “AS-IS” stage of a relief operation is the basis for further action in humanitarian supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to develop a toolbox called the Humanitarian Supply Chain Assessment Tool (HumSCAT). This toolbox is comprised of a set of basic tools which can be classified into each phase of disaster relief. Design/methodology/approach The HumSCAT is proposed by paralleling frequently used tools in commercial supply chains with the objectives and characteristics of relief phases. A case study was used to validate the HumSCAT along with six tools provided in the preparation phase. Findings The HumSCAT consists of seven tools in the preparation phase, nine tools in the response phase and ten tools in the recovery phase. The case study illustrates how to use the HumSCAT and the six tools. The latter were found to be useful for improving the relief chain. Research limitations/implications The list of tools is not exclusive. Other tools might be applicable as long as they meet the objectives and characteristics of the phase. A tool should be adjusted accordingly to the contexts. Tools in other phases should be validated in future research. Practical implications The HumSCAT may serve as a reference toolbox for practitioners. Its output can be used for further designing of the “TO-BE” status of humanitarian relief chains. Originality/value The HumSCAT is proposed as a toolbox for academics and practitioners involved in humanitarian supply chains.

“…As witnessed in recent years, disasters that have escalated in frequency and severity can threaten human society's safety (Ismail et al 2014;Vahanvati and Mulligan 2017;Hinzpeter and Sandholz 2018). Natural hazards have affected six million people in the Asia-Paci c region, and the death toll has risen to more than two million from 1970-2014 (Johnson, Depietri and, Breil 2016).…”

Following the increasing rate of natural disasters, more attention is being paid to post-natural disaster reconstruction projects. However, from the perspective of project management, these projects show a significant degree of differences from the regular construction projects. Although some progress has been made on this topic, further research is needed to smooth pathways for the management of Post-Natural Disaster Recovery (PNDR) projects. This paper provides a management framework for PNDR projects throughout the qualitative analysis of the research's selected resources. The resources identified by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria in academic online platforms have been coded by NVivo 2020, and corresponding groups have been made for PNDR life-cycle and project stages. An integrated management framework has been put forward throughout the simultaneous application of the research's suggested life-cycle and project stages for PNDR projects. The most significant observation of this study is the necessity of applying a continuous life-cycle to address projects' long-term goals and provide an experience-based database for the management of next natural disasters. The significant role of planning in the entire life-cycle of PNDR projects, recognition of the tasks that need to be handled continuously during entire PNDR projects, the necessity of simultaneous consideration of tangible and intangible recovery outcomes are the other findings of this study. Recognition of reconstruction as part of the bigger system, named recovery, also stressed the necessity of considering the recovery project as a whole.

“…Indeed, the post-disaster recovery phase can be a focal point for encouraging integration of ecosystem approaches by governments who may not previously have considered them (Hinzpeter and Sandholz, 2018).…”

“…By contrast, studies from both north-east Japan (Takeuchi et al, 2014) and the USA (Tidball, 2014) indicate post-disaster restoration of natural systems can symbolise recovery, support citizens' recovery from loss of traditional and familiar surroundings, and enhance communities' capacity to organise, act and respond to future shocks. In an international synthesis of post-disaster needs assessments, Hinzpeter and Sandholz (2018) argue nature-based approaches may be sidelined in favour of more immediate economic, social and 'hard engineering' infrastructural considerations.…”

“…In DRR, green infrastructure connects Eco-DRR approaches with more traditional engineering, and may encompass post-disaster aspects other than risk reduction (Hinzpeter and Sandholz, 2018). Thinking in terms of green infrastructure also places more explicit emphasis on both the benefits provided by discrete landscape features and their relation to a wider network which can build resilience across an urban area (Dennis et al, 2018).…”

This research evaluates the contribution of nature-based solutions to urban resilience in postdisaster situations. Post-disaster recovery planning is an opportunity to 'build back greener' by fostering ecosystem approaches towards social and ecological resilience. Yet understanding of specific post-disaster resilience benefits which nature-based solutions provide is still emerging. This paper contributes to this field through evaluation of how ecosystem approaches bring resilience benefits in Futaba County, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, following the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. Content analysis is undertaken on disaster recovery plans produced by the 8 municipalities in Futaba County. The ecosystem services included in each plan are identified, as well as the extent to which municipalities are capable of assessing the services provided. This is supplemented with insights from field visits and wider documentation produced by the municipalities. The analysis shows that cultural ecosystem services feature especially strongly within the plans, and that these cultural services are critical to recovering sense of identity and pride postdisaster. However, the analysis also indicates that municipalities may lack the technical is extended to Akihiro Yoshikawa of Appreciate Fukushima Workers for support with site visits and for sharing his rich knowledge of Futaba County. The author is also grateful to all citizens of Futaba County and Fukushima Prefecture for their support and encouragement during fieldwork.
