Recovery Frameworks
• Presence of a framework enhances coordination and responsiveness, expands conversation beyond standard FEMA recovery programs
• National Disaster Recovery Framework• Recovery Support Functions – lead and support agencies• Coordination with states, support to locals• Better leverages knowledge and resources across the Federal
Government
• State of Colorado Draft Recovery Plan• Under development before floods; operational• Incorporated lessons from 2012, 2013 wildfires• State Recovery Support Functions – What if FEMA isn’t coming?• Recovery coordination starts at onset of events

Pre-Disaster Planning
• State Agencies needed to be organized for Long Term Recovery• Function if federal resources are not available• Align with Federal resources when they do come• Focus on:• Capabilities• Structures and Actions• Timing and flexibility
• Local Communities pre-flood: Primarily planned for specific capabilities (debris management, damage assessment, etc.)
• However some starting to develop more comprehensive pre-disaster plans• Assign responsibilities• Develop locally appropriate Recovery Support Functions• Use best practices from other communities, but customize for local
structures, issues, needs, etc.

Local Communities
• Driving forces in recovery
• Ultimately the ones that live with the decisions made and actions taken in recovery
• In charge of visioning; Need to be thoughtful, deliberative yet move quickly
• Think about steps to reduce risk from the next event as early as possible

Post Flood Disaster Recovery Planning and Visioning
• Agencies Involved: Communities(citizens, local governments, businesses), Department of Local Affairs, FEMA Community Planning and Capacity Building, University of Colorado at Denver, Colorado Office of Emergency Management
• Parallel Processes: Stream Corridor Master Plans, Stormwater Master Plans, floodplain mapping/risk assessments
• Important Considerations:• Locally driven• Community engagement• Strategic, tangible and achievable
• Current Status: Some plans under development, some just getting started

Considerations for Post-Disaster Planning
![Page 11: Recovery Planning and the Colorado Floods Iain Hyde, Deputy Chief Recovery Officer](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d765503460f94a5705b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Considerations for Post Disaster Planning
• Timing – When is the Community ready? When is it too late?
• Urgency – How quickly do you develop a post-disaster plan?
• Public Engagement – How do you leverage input and engagement of community members?
• Issues – What sectors impacted? Where are there opportunities for mitigation, resiliency, enhancements?
• Other Plans – Mitigation Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Capitol Improvements, Zoning, Sustainability• Leverage documents that already exist
• Need for tangible actions
