This paper examines the impact of linking social capital on the disaster response and recovery of households affected by Cyclone Aila in Bangladesh.
Data collected from observations, interviews, focus groups, and a household survey in two affected villages.
Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed to assess the role of NGOs in the recovery process.
NGOs did not assist in evacuations or rescue operations but were crucial in recovery efforts.
Resources like livelihood support and training provided by NGOs significantly aided economic and psychological recovery.
In the absence of long-term livelihood solutions, households relied heavily on linking networks to survive.
