Unit 9: Sustaining Recovery
Unit Objectives • Recognize the critical requirements for a sustained recovery • Discuss Long Term Recovery Vision • Understand the engaged partnerships required to sustain long term recovery • Identify funding sources to support long term recovery
Critical Requirements For Sustaining Recovery There are many factors that affect long term community recovery. The three major ones that we will focus on are: • Leadership/Vision • Engaged Partnership • Resources
Leadership/Vision • To have the best chance for success, leadership must be committed to the process • Providing impetus and vision are key leadership requirements • The process will have importance if elected officials make it a priority
Transitioning Vision to Action • It starts with a plan • The best time to create a Long Term Community Recovery plan is pre-disaster • Without a plan, effort will be directed toward rebuilding exactly what was there • Someone has to own the process
Engaged Partnerships • Involving the Whole Community is critical • Long Term Recovery is not an Emergency Management function • Identifying Stakeholders is the first step • Who has an interest in recovery? • Who can influence recovery?
Identifying Stakeholders • Economic Development • Housing Agencies • Health and Social Services • Educational Institutions • Infrastructure • Voluntary Agencies • Environmental • Private Sector
Keeping People Involved • Leadership again is critical • Sometimes presence is the mission • Produce a product • Show progress • Celebrate accomplishments and milestones • People will remain interested if they think they are making a difference!
