Abstract

Vietnam is very susceptible to natural hazards. Development Workshop France (DWF) has been working in Vietnam since 1989 following a massive typhoon which hit central Vietnam four years earlier, integrating efforts on post-disaster reconstruction programmes to promote safe construction. Since then DWF has endeavoured to ensure that these programmes are locally informed, using locally adapted technology to support sustainability within the affected communities. This chapter evaluates several of these reconstruction programmes and identifies a number of recommendations for the implementation of such schemes in the future.
