Abstract
This knowledge note provides an overview
of the post-disaster assessment process, extracting lessons
learned in the East Asia Pacific Region (EAP) and presenting
best practices from recent assessments. The note explains
the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) methodology, and
outlines: (i) the assessment triggers, (ii) key steps in
assessment planning, and (iii) dos and don'ts in
assessment execution. More in-depth guidance is available in
UNECLAC's 'Handbook for Estimating the
Socioeconomic and Environmental Effects of Disasters'
and 'TTL Guidance for Conducting Damage and Loss
Assessments after Disasters' prepared by the Global
Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR).
