We draw on three main examples of responses. First, we focus on ways in which remittances from labour mobility can benefit recovery efforts. Next, we explore how employers and host communities respond to disasters in the region. Finally, policy suggestions and responses at a government level will be outlined.AusAIDapplication/pdfen-AUThe permission to upload the paper was granted via email, archived in ERMS2253683Author/s retain copyright201610.25911/5f20035a18805
