Purpose
In this step, you will establish services, learn the steps to track finances and resources, and learn ways to keep a record of lessons learned for future recovery efforts. Keep in mind that recovery plans are not static; they are living documents that require continual reshaping as implementation efforts advance and recovery conditions evolve.
Guiding Questions
- Assistance: How do we ensure that disaster-impacted households receive the recovery assistance they need?
- Finances: How do we ensure that recovery costs are accounted for and reimbursed by insurance, grant assistance, or disaster financing (as eligible)?
- Cash Flow: How will the community maintain jurisdiction cash flow?
- Alignment: Are recovery projects aligned with community resilience and mitigation goals and objectives?
- Integration: What changes to community plans are needed in response to the disaster itself and from changes or enhancements that result from recovery efforts?
- Reporting: How does the community regularly report progress to the governing board or the public?
