FR Long term disaster recovery plan: Prepared for the City of Oakland as a model plan for local governments in the San Francisco Bay Area
Summary
This resource serves as a model for post-disaster recovery planning in urban communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. It outlines strategies for financing recovery, restoring long-term housing, and operationalizing essential services and critical infrastructure following a major disaster. The resource focuses on community issues that are critical within the first 90 days of response and recovery, with some actions focused on mitigation to ensure long-term resiliency.
Why is this Useful
Although written for an American context, this resource highlights the value of pre-disaster recovery planning in helping communities prepare for the complexity of recovery through a concrete example from a local government. In this plan, the local government has identified numerous actions it can take in advance to prepare streamlined building permitting processes, procurement processes, zoning considerations, etc. to enable timely reconstruction. It has developed an action plan so different government departments know their roles and how they need to establish post-disaster processes within their spheres of influence to support overall recovery.
