ISD's flagship policy paper argues that disaster management should be understood within the broader context of community development. It introduces the Development Support Functions (DSF) framework and nine forms of community capital that shape a community's ability to manage risk, recover from disruption, and build long-term prosperity with resilience serving as a tenth DSF to protect the other nine. Essential reading for state and local leaders, program officers, economic developers, and practitioners working to strengthen community resilience and recovery.
