Create a pre-disaster recovery ordinance.
If you have not already done so, be sure to develop a pre-event recovery ordinance, which can improve your community’s disaster recovery capabilities and recovery outcomes. A pre-disaster recovery ordinance will outline necessary authorities, authorize critical actions, establish coordination bodies, and clarify various legal provisions, among other functions. This ordinance can serve as either a forerunner or supplement to a comprehensive pre-disaster recovery plan or framework.
Use the model recovery ordinance to support you in this step.
