Understanding Short-term Household Recoveries from the 2015 Nepal Earthquakes: Lessons Learned and Recommendations

Summary

This paper analyzes both tangible and intangible recovery dynamics post the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. Using surveys and interviews with 400 households across two districts, the paper explored adaptive capacity and transformation. Recovery varied based on context, with factors like hazard exposure, displacement, and mental well-being influencing outcomes. Challenges related to government programs, housing design, and outside aid were also identified.
