ABSTRACT
This paper examines the housing reconstruction efforts which followed Hurricanes Gilbert (Jamaica, September 1988) and Joan (Nicaragua, October 1988). Distinct technical, social, institutional, and political factors affected the reconstruction of housing in each case. Nevertheless, in neither case was the reconstructed housing more disaster-resistant than its predecessors. The paper argues that the reconstruction period was an ideal time to implement disaster-mitigating building techniques, and that householders and builders would have been willing to use them if they had the necessary technical information. It examines the roles which were played by NGO's, government and international agencies in disseminating technical information to the practitioners who actually reconstructed the majority of the buildings. It concludes that better cooperation between these institutions will reduce future disasters by enabling local builders to build safer houses (AU)
