Incorporating Local Building Practices in Response
Résumé
To enhance resilience, households affected by disasters must be able to make informed choices during reconstruction. They must balance the adoption of safety measures with their other needs (Flinn, 2020). Disaster risk reduction (DRR) techniques that fit with local circumstances are likely to represent the best fit for affected households (Garnier et al., 2013; CRAterre, 2010; Dekens, 2007; Twigg, 2006; Carazas-Aedo et al., 2004; Jigyasu, 2002). The exclusion of local techniques and the shift toward non-traditional DRR practices can, therefore, be problematic for community resilience. However, during reconstruction, local non-engineered DRR construction techniques are frequently absent from building codes and neglected by technical authorities, government institutions, and funding agencies.
