Abstract | ||
| Disasters are an inevitable part or our lives. Much of the work and tools used currently are intended to address the first stage to a disaster which is response. Work related to a later stage, long-term disaster recovery, is scarce and an attempt to offer a business case approach to the implementation of a web-based tool for this stage is discussed in this work. Stages to develop the tool, costs, and benefits are explained as well as some parts of the National Disaster Recovery Framework. | ||
