In addition to providing needed goods and services after a disaster, entrepreneurs repurpose existing social networks and help community members restore and replace social networks that were disrupted by the disaster. Recall that social networks play a key role in helping individuals recover from disasters but that disasters can disrupt and destroy those networks. For disaster victims, social networks can be a source of financial resources, emotional support, mutual assistance, and information about how to navigate the challenges of the post-disaster environment. In the language that we introduced in chapter 3, entrepreneurs that restore disrupted social networks and facilitate the creation of new social networks increase the probability that others will return and lower the cost of returning by giving the victims access to mutual assistance.
