Reconstruction is more than rebuilding what existed before.
Communities and infrastructure need to be built back better, so they are more resilient to future risks and better able to reduce the impacts of natural hazards.
The Reconstruction Division provides specialist infrastructure expertise to strengthen the delivery of resilient infrastructure, both before disasters happen and as part of recovery efforts afterwards.
