What role should the federal government have in rebuilding after disasters? Does its intervention do more harm than good, or is a national government the only actor able to plan strategically and direct the appropriate level of resources to areas of need?
 
Reconstruction after a disaster starts right away, but the decisions taken early on will have far-reaching impacts on the lives of those affected

- It is important to ensure that we build back better in a way that involves communities, policy-makers, government and reconstruction agencies
 
We share the popular understanding that the highly efficient centralised mobilisation mechanism plus a strong political will is a formula for success in many undertakings. Otherwise there would not be the tendency to prescribe the same for the country's uphill battles against corruption and food safety problems.

While tapping the constructive potentials of the mobilisation mechanism, misuse of public funds should be avoided. Precisely because of its effectiveness in achieving set goals, informed decisions are essential to make sure this powerful tool is used only for worthy causes and good governance with people's oversight is the only guarantee for informed decisions.
 
The government exists to protect citizens and to help them recover from crises. When disaster strikes be it a an earthquake, or a hurricane.
 
Financing rebuilding efforts is the least the government can do to help individuals recover from incredible personal loss and community tragedy.
