Entrepreneurs as Signals of Healthy Community Rebound

Chapter Chapter 7 in Community Revival in the Wake of Disaster, 2015, pp 105-121 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As discussed in chapter 3, disaster victims will want to know if others plan to return when deciding whether to return and rebuild or to relocate somewhere else. If everyone is waiting for signs from others before deciding how to react, recovery might never occur (Chamlee-Wright 2010; Chamlee-Wright and Storr 2009a, 2010a). Entrepreneurs, however, can act as “focal points” or “points of orientation” for residents as they decide whether or not to return and rebuild after a disaster and formulate their post-disaster recovery plans.
