Disaster Recovery & Management
Recovering from natural or man made disaster is an
exercise that is separate from the immediate disaster
rescue and stabilisation. While there are many
people and organizations with expertise in disaster
reduction there are only a handful of individuals and
organizations that know how to develop the plans,
funding and management systems to recover a city or
region post disaster.
Dr. Blakely has been involved as a manager in six
large scale disasters involved in all aspects of
recovery management. His most recent experience
was in New Orleans.

Sustainable Development
Integrating social, economic and physical development
into a common framework has been a hallmark of my work
for my entire career even before the term sustainable had
become widely used. I have incorporated this approach in
major projects in San Francisco, Oakland, New Orleans,
Paris and in many African and Asian cities. In addition, I
have developed with Ali Sahabi Dos Lagos a Suburban
Sustainable real estate project in Southern California
where the University of California at Riverside dedicated
the Edward J Blakely Center for Sustainable Suburban
Development as a tribute to my contributions to the field.
