COMMUNITY PLANNING AND CAPACITY BUILDING (CPCB)/RSF1

RECOVERY CONTINUUM

JOINT COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP We have a unique opportunity to work collectively to build capacity and buy down some future risk(s) before the next disaster. Use the 2016 flooding events as the basis for building and codifying partnerships to address the extended recovery needs. Identify issues that are cross-cutting, because what effects one area/sector will effect others – i.e. Drainage, Housing issues, Data and GIS needs, Funding and Resources, Training and Technical Assistance needs

NATIONAL DISASTER RECOVERY FRAMEWORK The National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) enables effective recovery support to disaster-impacted States and Tribes through a unified and collaborative process. The focus is on how best to restore, redevelop and revitalize the health, social, economic, natural and environmental fabric of the impacted areas and to build resilience. Support from numerous Federal Agencies,
