9.0 PUBLIC VS PRIVATE ADMINISTRATION POST FLOOD

Key Concept:

Loss assessment and adjustment after a disaster necessitates coordinated and rapid reaction often

between nation states and local and regional government agencies and private actors. It is vital that

there is sufficient administrative capacity to process a large number of claims from a vulnerable

population that has likely suffered physical injury as well as economic losses.
