As a sobering reminder of how long this effort must endure, Cooperative Business Journal (CBJ) has assembled a brief and partial overview of cooperative recovery in two disaster zones—one new, and one nearly five years old.

Our good friends at the National Cooperative Business Association shared the story with us so we could pass it along to you. Click on the PDF below.
