Short summary

We explored how disasters that occur before recovery from earlier events is complete can complicate recovery, using examples from science and the real world across different societal domains. We then reflect on why recovery under repeated disasters is more complex than simply returning to normal, and how the way we define recovery and the system we study shapes our understanding. These insights can help us better understand, study, and manage recovery from disasters.
