气候变化正在增加灾害影响的可能性和规模。非营利部门满足灾难幸存者需求的能力将成为适应不断变化的气候的一个日益重要的方面。灾难恢复还为非营利组织提供了时间，以影响社区对未来灾难和气候变化的适应能力。本文分析了该部门在灾难恢复过程中的一个独特现象：长期恢复群体。这些组织越来越受到政府和国家非营利组织的鼓励，但对它们的学术研究却很少。我们评估团体的存在和位置、它们的使命和任务，以及它们的法律结构。我们发现，在结构和地点上存在异质性，但在解决政府和私营部门复苏实践失败的既定目标方面存在相似之处。正如预期的那样，这些群体出现在灾害损失较大的地区和社会脆弱性稍大的地区。然而，大多数组织错过了将气候变化作为其使命的一部分的机会。
Climate change is increasing the likelihood and magnitude of disaster impacts. The nonprofit sector’s ability to address disaster survivors’ needs will become an increasingly important aspect of adapting to a changing climate. Disaster recovery also provides time for nonprofits to affect community resilience to future disasters and climate change. This article analyzes a unique phenomenon of the sector during disaster recovery: Long-term Recovery Groups. These groups are increasingly encouraged by government and national nonprofits, yet little academic research exists on them. We assess the existence and location of groups, their missions and tasks, and their legal structure. We find heterogeneity in structure and location but similarity in stated goals of addressing failures of government and private sector recovery practices. These groups emerge, as expected, in areas with disaster losses and in areas with slightly greater social vulnerability. Most groups, though, miss the opportunity to include climate change as part of their mission.
