[Aslam Perwaiz]

Dear Colleagues

You may have read the ADPC news (http://www.adpc.net/igo/contents/Media/media-news.asp?pid=805#sthash.Ut9v1pam.dpbs) on the Launch of the “Disaster Recovery Toolkit” commissioned by the
Tsunami Global Lessons Learned Project (see details of the TGLL project below) executed by ADPC.  

Please also see the UNDP Administrator’s remark at  http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/presscenter/speeches/2015/02/09/helen-clark-speech-at-the-launch-of-the-tsunami-global-lessons-learned-project-disaster-recovery-toolkit/

The Toolkit comprises several components:
Handbook for Disaster Recovery Practitioners, which sets the basic framework of recovery and reconstruction (R&R)
Training Manual – Learning Workshop on R&R, designing training for practitioners drawing on the Handbook
Technical Guidance Notes on landuse, housing, livelihoods, and critical facilities
You can download the documents at http://www.adpc.net/igo/contents/Our_works/TGLL/index.asp 

More than writing of the products, the consultation process through the formation of the ADPC Recovery Advisory Committee representing leading expert from Tsunami affected countries (Indonesia,Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives)    has been appreciated. Please see your individual names as contributor.  

It is also a matter of satisfaction and pride that the final products are under the ADPC Copyright. This is important for ADPC and its future work on this issue. 

To assist disaster recovery, ADPC has been working with selected countries under its Ready4Recovery initiative to customize post-disater needs assessment (PDNA) methodology and tools. Please also look for the next ADPC Newsletter on Disaster Recovery: Economics , Governance and the Social Impacts due to released at the WCDR, Sendai.

On behalf of the ADPC R4R Team, I would like to request you to use the products in your work and widely circulate among the Government, Non-Goverment and others. Please feel free to write to Mr. Gregory Pearn (gregory at adpc.net) for future partnership, collaboration and technical assistance.

About the Global Lessons Learned Project (TGLL) 
The Tsunami Global Lessons Learned Project (TGLLP) was initiated in 2008 to bring together the collective
knowledge, expertise, and experiences gained from the response to the 2004 earthquake and tsunami.
The project, supported by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society (IFRC), the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the World Food Programme (WFP), sought to
deliver three principle outcomes: a global lessons learned study, a Discovery Channel documentary
tracking the recovery, and a disaster recovery toolkit for recovery practitioners.

The first of these outcomes was a report entitled ‘The Tsunami Legacy: Innovation, Breakthroughs and
Change’, which was released on 24 April 2009 at the United Nations Headquarters by the UN Secretary
General Ban Ki‐moon, former UN Special Envoy for Tsunami Recovery President Bill Clinton, UN
Development Group Chair Helen Clark, and dignitaries from the five tsunami-°©‐most affected countries
(India, Indonesia, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Thailand). The second deliverable was a Discovery Channel
documentary on the 2004 tsunami recovery process, and it was aired worldwide on 26 December 2009,
on the 5th Anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami.
