flood recovery
After the waters
Flood recovery is the process of restoring normalcy after a flood—cleaning up debris, repairing damaged structures, and helping affected communities rebuild.
The term covers everything from pumping water out of basements to large-scale government relief efforts: The town's flood recovery took nearly two years.
Recovery extends beyond physical repairs to include emotional and financial rebuilding.
