In addition to exploring various aspects of disaster management to better understand it, for example, the classification of disasters and the stages of disaster management. Project management principles are discovered for the commitments of this research as well as opinions of experts working in Iraqi construction sector to investigate the suitable model for post disaster reconstruction management system. The consequences of this research are used for the build of the suggested model. In conclusion, the efficiency of the planned model was verified through a survey to ensure its suitability for Iraqi construction sector.
