SEMS Disaster Recovery Organization <br />The National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) strongly recommends that local government leaders <br />appoint a Local Disaster Recovery Manager (LDRM) to serve as the central manager for recovery <br />coordination activities for the jurisdiction. The role of the LDRM is to organize, coordinate and advance <br />the recovery at the City level. The LDRM will serve as the jurisdiction's primary point of contact with the <br />State agencies. The City has selected the Director of Community Development to fill this position. <br />The City has established a Disaster Council under Municipal Code: Chapter 10, Emergency and Disaster <br />Relief. The Disaster Council may convene to review a recovery plan, make recommendations on priorities, <br />objectives and issues to be addressed in the recovery plan. The Mayor serves as the Chair of the Disaster <br />Council; the City Manager serves as the Vice -Chair. <br />To support the LDRM, the City uses an ICS structure that complements and augments the EOC. Figure H.2 <br />depicts the City's disaster recovery organization called a Recovery Operations Center (ROC). <br />Figure I.2 City Recovery Organization <br />All City Departments will support the ROC with staff and resources. They will also coordinate providing <br />additional contract staff and services as required. <br />H.1 Damage Assessments and Incident Impacts <br />After a disaster, the City will seek to rebuild and revitalize all sectors of the community, including local <br />critical infrastructure and essential services. City Departments also must focus on business retention and <br />the redevelopment of housing units that are damaged or destroyed. The process of repairing and <br />rebuilding presents an opportunity for the local government to promote and integrate mitigation <br />measures into recovery rebuilding strategies and plans. <br />The City EOC will compile damage assessments that are provided by City in responding to the disaster. <br />Additional information must be collected from privately owned critical infrastructure providers and <br />H-2 <br />
