You’re not recovering, you’re preparing for what’s next
The next one won’t be like the last one
• Recession of 2001-2
• Katrina – Rita
• Great Recession
• BP oil spill
What’s next?
It takes a neighborhood to rebuild a neighborhood
There are rhythms in recovery;the neighborhood has to write its own music
Celebration of small successes is essential for greater ones!
Recovery occurs network by network, district by district, not just building by building;
it is about reconstructing myriad social relationships embedded in schools, workplaces, childcare arrangements, shops, places of
worship, and places of play and recreation.
