:Dll provides guidance to assure that
recovery activities respect the civil rights and
civil liberties of all populations and do not
result in discrimination on account of race,

ln eptember 2009, lresident Larack
Obama charged the U.. Department
of lomeland ecurity (Dl) and the
U.. Department of lousing and Urban
Development (l U D) to establish a long-
1erm Disaster lecovery Working Group
(the Working Group). Composed of more
than 20 lederal departments, agencies and
offices, the Working Group vas asked to
develop operational guidance for recovery
organizations, vhich resulted in the creation
of the :Dll, and to make recommendations
for improving the :ation`s approach to
disaster recovery.
During the fall of 2009, Dllederal
lmergency management Agency (llmA)
and lUD sponsored outreach sessions in
each of llmA`s ten regions and stakeholder
forums in five cities across the country. 1he
objective vas to offer stakeholders from a
vide array of organizations and backgrounds
the opportunity to provide up-front
comments to the Working Group on vays to
strengthen disaster recovery. DlllmA and
l U D also organized discussion roundtables
vith professional associations and academic
experts. 1he Working Group created a Web

group of stakeholders to provide comments
into the development of the :Dll. Over
six hundred stakeholders representing local,
tate, 1ribal and lederal governments, as vell

lecovery begins vith pre-disaster
preparedness and includes a vide range of
planning activities. 1he :Dll clarifies the
roles and responsibilities for stakeholders
in recovery, both pre- and post-disaster. lt
recognizes that recovery is a continuum and
that there is opportunity vithin recovery. lt
also recognizes that vhen a disaster occurs,
it impacts some segments of the population
more than others.
1he ability of a community to accelerate the
recovery process begins vith its efforts in
pre-disaster preparedness, mitigation and
recovery capacity building. 1hese efforts
result in a resilient community vith an
improved ability to vithstand, respond
to and recover from disasters. 1imely
decisions in response to disaster impacts can
significantly reduce recovery time and cost.
1he :Dll describes key principles and
steps for community recovery planning
and implementation. lt promotes a process
in vhich the impacted community fully
engages and considers the needs of all its
members. A key element of the process is
that the impacted community assumes the
leadership in developing recovery priorities
and activities that are realistic, vell-planned
and clearly communicated.

1he :Dll advances the concept that recovery
encompasses more than the restoration of a
community`s physical structures to its pre-
disaster conditions. Of equal importance is
providing a continuum of care to meet the
needs of the affected community members
vho have experienced the hardships of
financial, emotional or physical impacts
as vell as positioning the community to
meet the needs of the future. 1he :Dll
also highlights the importance of disaster
recovery activities that promote sustainability
practices. 1hese practices may reduce
community vulnerability to recurrent
disasters. meeting these various needs
through strengthening the health and
human services, social fabric, educational
system, environmental sustainability, cultural
resources and economic vitality serves to
enhance the overall resiliency of the entire
community as the recovery progresses.

All community members must have equal
opportunity to participate in community
recovery efforts in a meaningful vay. Care
must be taken to assure that actions, both
intentional and unintentional, do not exclude
groups of people based on race, color,
national origin (including limited lnglish
proficiency), religion, sex or disability.
Care must be taken to identify and eradicate
social and institutional barriers that hinder
or preclude individuals vith disabilities
and others in the community historically
subjected to unequal treatment from full and
equal enjoyment of the programs, goods,
services, activities, facilities, privileges,
advantages and accommodations provided.
A successful recovery is about the ability of
individuals and families to rebound from
their losses in a manner that sustains their
physical, emotional, social and economic
vell-being. 1he restoration of infrastructure
systems and services is critical during
recovery. lt is vital that all individuals vho
make up the community are provided vith
the tools to access and use a continuum
of care that addresses both the physical
losses sustained and the psychological and
emotional trauma experienced.

1he speed and success of recovery can be
greatly enhanced by establishment of the
process and protocols prior to a disaster for
coordinated post-disaster recovery planning
and implementation. All stakeholders
should be involved to ensure a coordinated
and comprehensive planning process,
and develop relationships that increase
post-disaster collaboration and unified
decisionmaking. Another important objective
of pre-disaster recovery planning is to take
actions that vill significantly reduce disaster
impacts through disaster-resilient building
practices. 1he :Dll strongly encourages
innovation among the tates, 1ribes,

and inclusiveness are vital for ensuring that
all voices are heard from all parties involved
in disaster recovery and that all available
resources are brought to the table. 1his is
especially critical at the community level
vhere nongovernmental partners in the
private and nonprofit sectors play a critical
role in meeting local needs. lnclusiveness
in the recovery process includes individuals

lach community defines successful
recovery outcomes differently based on
its circumstances, challenges, recovery
vision and priorities. One community may
characterize success as the return of its
economy to pre-disaster conditions vhile
another may see success as the opening of
nev economic opportunities. Although no
single definition fits all situations, successful
recoveries do share conditions in vhich.
1he community successfully
overcomes the physical, emotional and
environmental impacts of the disaster.
lt reestablishes an economic and social
base that instills confidence in the
community members and businesses
regarding community viability.
lt rebuilds by integrating the functional
needs of all residents and reducing its
vulnerability to all hazards facing it.
1he entire community demonstrates a
capability to be prepared, responsive, and
resilient in dealing vith the consequences
of disasters.

lecovery is more than the community`s
return to pre-disaster circumstances,
especially vhen the community determines
that these circumstances are no longer
sustainable, competitive or functional as
shovn by the community`s post-disaster
condition. A successful recovery in this case
may include a decision to relocate all or
some portion of the community assets and
restoration of the affected area to a more
natural environment. ln these circumstances,
the community recovery decisionmaking is
informed by evaluating all alternatives and
options and avoiding simple rebuilding or
reconstructing of an area that continues to be
vulnerable.

1he lederal Government`s supporting role is

1he lederal Government`s disaster recovery
management and support systems must be
scalable and adaptable so changes can be
made quickly and effectively to meet the
needs of the specific disaster.
1he lederal Government also plays an
important role in providing accessible

about lederal grants and loans vith potential
applications to recovery. ln coordination
vith local, tate and 1ribal communicators,
the lederal Government is responsible for

strongly recommends that tate governors as

prepare as part of their disaster recovery plans
to appoint local Disaster lecovery managers
(lDlms) and tate1ribal Disaster lecovery
Coordinators (DlCs1DlCs) to lead disaster
recovery activities for the jurisdiction.
1he role of the lDlms, DlCs and 1DlCs
is to organize, coordinate and advance the
recovery at the local, tate or 1ribal level. 1he
experience and skill sets of these individuals
should include a strong basis in community
development and good knovledge of
the community`s demographics. While
these positions vill often interact vith the
emergency management community, it
is not necessary that these individuals be
emergency management professionals. 1heir
primary role is to manage and coordinate the
redevelopment and building of community.
ln addition, the individuals occupying the
positions should be able to represent and
speak on behalf of their respective chief
executives (e.g., mayor, governor, 1ribal
leader). 1he lDlms and 1DlCs serve as the
jurisdiction`s primary point of contact (lO C)
vith the DlC.
ln large-scale disasters and catastrophic
incidents vhere a lederal role may be
necessary, the DlC andor 1DlC is the
primary interface vith the lederal Disaster

While disaster-impacted jurisdictions
must necessarily and immediately focus
on emergency response activities, the
decisions made very early after a disaster
influence recovery. ln large-scale disasters
and catastrophic incidents vhere a lederal
role may be necessary, the lederal Disaster
lecovery Coordinator (lDlC) is a focal point
for incorporating recovery and mitigation
considerations into the early decisionmaking
processes. 1he lDlC monitors the impacts
and results of such decisions and evaluates
the need for additional assistance and
adjustments vhere necessary and feasible
throughout the recovery.
ln these situations, the lDlC vorks as a
deputy to the lederal Coordinating Officer
(lCO) for all matters concerning disaster
recovery. 1he lDlC is responsible for
facilitating disaster recovery coordination
and collaboration betveen the lederal,
1ribal, tate and local governments, the
private sector and voluntary, faith-based
and community organizations. 1he lDlC
partners vith and supports the local Disaster
lecovery manager (lDlm) and the tate
andor 1ribal Disaster lecovery Coordinator
(DlC1DlC) to facilitate disaster recovery
in the impacted tate or 1ribal area.

Activation, transition and demobilization of
the lDlC and lecovery upport lunctions
(lls) depends on the magnitude of
the disaster, requirements of affected
communities, and availability and
appropriateness of lederal resources. During
large-scale and catastrophic incidents, the
lDlC may be deployed to serve as Deputy
to the lCO and primary advisor to the lCO
on all recovery issues. 1he lDlC supports
the lCO and coordinates lederal recovery
operations on his or her behalf.

1he :Dll employs an assessment protocol to
ensure a scalable, flexible, adaptable and cost-
effective approach to recovery activities and
to determine vhich coordination structures
are necessary and appropriate under the
circumstances. lrom this assessment, the
lCO, in coordination vith the tate, activates
the appropriate lecovery upport lunctions
(lls), if necessary.
1he lDlC coordinates vith the lCO and the
:Dll at llmA leadquarters on the progress
of recovery, including identifying policy and
program challenges. 1he lDlC may also be
called upon to brief senior level officials in
the lxecutive Lranch and Congress on the
pace, challenges and needs of the recovery,

RECOVERY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS
DISASTER WITH MODERATE IMPACT ON TWO SECTORS
(Using Housing and Public Health and Health Care, this example
shows how recovery is supported by the RSF system
when impacts occur to a limited number of sectors.)
DISASTER WITH CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON MULTIPLE SECTORS
(This example shows how the RSF system is adaptable to align with unique sector designations that each state may organize.
In this case, the State organizes its recovery sectors around Public Health and Health Care, Human Services, Education,
Transportation and Infrastructure, Public Safety and Flood Protection, Environmental Management and Coastal Restoration.
Of these seven sectors, there are three groups with each group being supported by a particular RSF.)

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance,
Category B Emergency Protective Measures, may assist in providing
some essential health and social services temporarily, if eligible.

Recovery requires a heavily-leaning forward strategy because there
are typically more resources available during the response phase,
and recovery needs could be potentially lessened or prevented by
leveraging Stafford Act funds.

effectively direct recovery activities and
expedite a unified recovery effort. lre-
disaster plans provide a common platform
to guide recovery decisions and activities.
When done in conjunction vith local and

ln addition to the general elements of the
pre-disaster planning process (1able 20),
there are also elements specific to the various
participants in the process. 1he responsibility
of preparing for disaster recovery begins
vith the individual and builds to the larger

to a common planning table vith a
commitment to physical, programmatic and

successful post-disaster recovery process. A

planning is developing a plan quickly enough
to meet the needs of residents and businesses.
1he post-disaster planning process operates
on a much faster timeline than traditional or
