In this step, you will learn how to bring together the necessary stakeholders to create effective post-disaster recovery coordination.
By engaging all key stakeholders under an effective coordination structure, your community’s recovery capacity is markedly enhanced, and the likelihood of positive recovery outcomes increased. Access to recovery resources, including information, technical assistance, subject matter expertise, and funding opportunities are expanded. Communities need to identify effective leaders quickly and determine what system or structure best meets the recovery needs of their constituents.
