This report reviews the key learnings and application possibilities of research completed as part of the Resilient Organisations Objective 3 (Legal and Contractual Frameworks for Post-Disaster Reconstruction) Programme over the past three years. Where appropriate, comments have been made regarding pre-disaster planning considerations. Alternatives that need to be incorporated into the thinking and planning of those who are involved in post disaster reconstruction have been highlighted. Several areas have also been identified that require further research or additional planning for a smoother, co-ordinated process of reconstruction.
