There are some serious conceptual problems with the concept of disaster recovery. It is important to set any comments on recovery into a larger context. Disasters are not a new phenomena, recovery from them is also not new. An overwhelming majority of social units involved do survive disasters. A lesson from this observation is that coping, adapting to disasters, the recovering units must have done something right. It might be that recovery planning that is consistent with natural, spontaneous human and group efforts to cope with disasters is the the best planning.
