The period after disasters is also the context before the next disaster [32]. It entails a sequence of phases extending over years and decades, summarized under the umbrella term of recovery [47]. The recovery period bleeds into normal times, although this occurs differently for different people depending on their social position [48]. Even when pre-disaster activities and the initial window of opportunity were missed to direct changes towards sustainability, the recovery phase provides opportunities to introduce sustainability objectives [10,11,49,50].
