Highlights
The purpose of recovery planning is to envision the aftermath of a disaster, offering a direction-setting framework to reach recovery goals, and to represent a big picture of the community linked to broader disaster reconstruction policies
Given that most of the participatory recovery studies are undertaken in an international context (Davidson et al 2007; Ganapati and Ganapati 2008; Ganapati and Mukherji 2013; Lawther 2009) this paper addresses an important gap by focusing on a US case study
Data on the Subthemes 3.1, challenges of recovery planning, 3.2, the Galveston Community Recovery Committee (GCRC)’s procedures, and 3.3, initiation of the GCRC were synthesized to elaborate on disagreements over formation of the GCRC as one of the challenges of participatory recovery planning after Ike
Summary
The purpose of recovery planning is to envision the aftermath of a disaster, offering a direction-setting framework to reach recovery goals, and to represent a big picture of the community linked to broader disaster reconstruction policies. This paper seeks to explain the factors that contributed to the challenges and successes of public participation using Galveston’s recovery planning after Hurricane Ike as a case study This knowledge can be used to design more effective participatory processes that increase inclusive local control and enhance recovery outcomes. On the one hand, utilizing these familiar institutional structures to speed up decision making in the aftermath of a disaster often reinforces the marginalization (Chandrasekhar 2012) This is partly because they align with the planning establishment and serve as merely communication platforms for governments and developers and for controlling information, an issue observed in nondisaster context participatory processes as well (Laskey and Nicholls 2019).
