This research project will use the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake - which affected 46 million people in western China, caused over 88,000 deaths, and paralyzed the economy of a large part of Sichuan province - to answer the following question: What can government do to ensure that post-disaster recovery is fast, fair, efficient, and sustainable? Managing reconstruction following catastrophic disasters is especially challenging, because of the pressure to rebuild everything in a short time. An effective recovery process can help minimize the long-term effects of a disaster on a community. To accomplish its goal, this project will study the recovery planning and management strategies used at national, provincial, and local levels following the Wenchuan earthquake. It will also survey households to find out about the actual results of the Chinese recovery policies. A bilingual team of researchers will meet with officials and collect recovery documents from all three levels of government, and the household survey will be conducted by Chinese university students.This research will greatly improve our understanding of recovery management after catastrophic disasters. In order to gain a deep understanding of post-disaster recovery, it is necessary to study events in a variety of settings. A detailed study of the Chinese style of recovery management, in the current era of rapid change in China, will help to broaden our understanding of post-catastrophe recovery management processes. In addition, the Chinese strategy includes some unique aspects that may be worth emulating or adapting to U.S. situations. An important aspect of this project is the research exchange and mutual learning about post-disaster recovery in China and the U.S. Researchers will work closely with Chinese colleagues in designing and executing the field research in China. The Chinese colleagues will have the opportunity to travel to the U.S. to learn about post-disaster recovery policies. The team's previous experiences in studying disaster recovery in other places indicate that this exchange will lead to continued collaboration that will advance the practice of recovery management in both countries. Furthermore, because members of the research team are involved in U.S. recovery practice and policy, the results of the research will influence future U.S. approaches to disaster recovery planning and management.

该研究项目将使用2008年的旺久地震 - 在中国西部影响了4600万人，造成了88,000多人死亡，并瘫痪了四川省的大部分地区经济 - 回答以下问题：政府可以做些什么来确保后策划后的恢复快速，公平，公平，高效，效率和可持续性？ 灾难性灾难后管理重建的重建尤其具有挑战性，因为在短时间内重建一切的压力。 有效的恢复过程可以帮助最大程度地减少灾难对社区的长期影响。 为了实现其目标，该项目将研究武恩（Wenchuan）地震后国家，省和地方一级使用的恢复计划和管理策略。 它还将调查家庭，以了解中国恢复政策的实际结果。双语研究人员将与官员会面，并从所有三个级别的政府中收集恢复文件，家庭调查将由中国大学的学生进行。这项研究将大大提高我们对灾难性灾难后恢复管理的理解。为了深入了解灾后恢复，有必要在各种环境中研究事件。在中国快速变化的当前时代，对中国恢复管理风格的详细研究将有助于扩大我们对后胃后恢复管理过程的理解。此外，中国战略还包括一些可能值得效仿或适应美国情况的独特方面。该项目的一个重要方面是有关中国灾后恢复的研究交流和共同学习，美国研究人员将与中国同事在设计和执行中国的现场研究方面紧密合作。 中国同事将有机会前往美国了解灾后恢复政策。该团队以前在其他地方研究灾难恢复的经验表明，这种交流将导致持续的合作，这将推动两国的恢复管理实践。此外，由于研究团队的成员参与了美国的恢复实践和政策，因此该研究的结果将影响美国未来的灾难恢复计划和管理方法。
