Recovery and reconstruction in two communities following the South Itallan earthquake is described and differences are related to factors such as pradisaster development levels, relief decisions made during the emergency phase, the kind of material aid received, local leadership and economic opportunities. The combination of appropriate aid and effective leadership appears to a potent force for recovery.
