Determine the scope, timeline, and budget of your planning efforts.
You will need to define the scope of your efforts based on the existing conditions, vulnerabilities, opportunities, needs, goals, and aspirations of your community. Defining the scope of your pre-disaster recovery planning efforts will determine your path forward to successfully execute this project and ensure that your community continues to thrive. This includes scheduling your planning efforts, determining the budget you have available to support this work, and identifying where and when you should engage with the broader community in supporting these efforts.
For more information, see Step 1 of the Community Readiness and Resilience Toolkit. In addition, use the project schedule, project budget sheet, stakeholder mapping, and community engagement plan tabs in the Pre-disaster Planning Workbook.
