Welcome to the Development from Disasters Network (DFDN) website. This is the new platform of the recently renamed Tsunami Recovery Network (TRN). The DFDN is a network of professionals, activists and academics committed to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of recovery after disasters. It aims to improve the development of affected people’s lives, livelihoods and settlements to be better than it was before the disaster that hit them. A concerted multi-disciplinary approach is needed to address the medium and long term challenges of the sustainable rebuilding of lives and settlements.
