APPENDIX H: RECOVERY OPERATIONS FRAMEWORK <br />This Framework defines how the whole community, including: emergency managers, community <br />development professionals, recovery practitioners, City departments, private sector, nongovernmental <br />organization (NGO) leaders and the public, will collaborate and coordinate to more effectively utilize <br />existing resources to promote resilience and support the recovery of those affected by an incident. The <br />framework advances the concept that recovery extends beyond simply repairing damaged structures. It <br />also includes the continuation or restoration of services critical to supporting the physical, emotional and <br />financial well-being of impacted community members. <br />Recovery includes the restoration and strengthening of key systems and resource assets that are critical to <br />the economic stability, vitality and long-term sustainability of the communities themselves. These include <br />health (including behavioral health) and human services capabilities and networks, public and private <br />disability support and service systems, educational systems, community social networks, natural and <br />cultural resources, affordable and accessible housing, infrastructure systems and local economic drivers. <br />Together, these elements of recovery contribute to rebuilding resilient communities equipped with the <br />physical, social, cultural, economic and natural infrastructure required to meet future needs. <br />The recovery process is best described as a sequence of interdependent and often concurrent activities <br />that progressively advance a community toward its planned recovery outcomes. Decisions made and <br />priorities set by a community pre -disaster and early in the recovery process have a cascading effect on the <br />nature, speed and inclusiveness of recovery. Figure H.1 depicts the interconnectedness of recovery <br />activities from pre -incident through the long term. <br />i <br />i <br />D Vi <br />NATIONAL DISASTER RECOVERY <br />Z N <br />FRAMEWORK (NORP) <br />C m <br />NATIONAL RESPONSE <br />X), <br />FRAMEWORK (NRF) <br />n 2 <br />00 <br />cN <br />]0 O <br />�M <br />m <br />Tp <br />T T <br />C;' 0 <br />I " <br />N <br />H a <br />a <br />m <br />PREPAREDNESS <br />SHORT-TERM <br />INTE TE LONG-TERM <br />ONGOING <br />DAYS <br />WEEKS -MONTHS MONTHS -YEARS <br />Figure H1 Recovery Continuum <br />H-1 <br />
