A living record of every mitigation, decision, and resource commitment made after a fault. Repair logs make accountability legible by linking people harmed, who intervened, and what evidence was used. Repair logs include whether affected people were restored, how long it took, and what remains unrepaired.
They inform future care retrospectives, power audits, and service-level reports so follow-up work is traceable and burden does not drift back to the same communities.
