The more connected the community is before a disaster hits, the stronger its ability to bounce back after disaster hits. Emergency planning people call it resilience. FEMA defines resilience as “the ability to adapt to changing conditions and withstand and rapidly recover from disruption due to emergencies.”

Resilience is the ability of a system (like a community) to absorb disturbance and still retain basic function and structure.

Resilience is affected by global, national, and local trends.

Problem, research strategy and findings: A pre-disaster recovery plan that considers how a community should be redeveloped is a logical first step to support resiliency during high uncertainty and rapid change, yet limited attention has been given to recovery plans. In this study, we evaluate local disaster recovery planning in eight southeastern states and find that such planning receives limited public support: Less than one-third of vulnerable local jurisdictions had a recovery plan, and those plans received low plan quality scores. Unfunded state mandates produce weaker plans than plans in other states without mandates. We find that a collaborative network of stakeholders initially intent on reordering priorities results in stronger plans. Takeaway for practice: Local recovery planning should be designed to operate under conditions of high uncertainty. Local jurisdictions can choose plan design
community-wide recovery plan; 2) comprehensive land use plan; 3) emergency management plan; and 4) small area recovery plan. Because recovery planning lacks a public constituency, and is new to most local jurisdictions, the stand-alone community-wide recovery plan design option is the most effective at building local
effort, and resources focused on a building a network of stakeholders who likely have the greatest responsibility in rebuilding efforts because they care most about the impacts of a disaster.
The ability of a community to successfully manage the recovery process begins with its efforts in pre-disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery capacity building. These efforts result in resilient communities with an improved ability to withstand, respond to, and recover from disasters. Pre-disaster recovery planning promotes a process in which the whole community fully engages with and considers the needs and resources
priorities and activities that are realistic, well planned, and clearly communicated.
Successful community recovery is broader than simply restoring the infrastructure, services, economy and tax base, housing, and physical environment. Recovery also encompasses re-establishing civic and social leadership, providing a continuum of care to meet the needs of affected community members, reestablishing the social fabric, and positioning the community to meet the needs of the future. Encouraging a town or city to make progress toward recovery efforts may be difficult, particularly after a catastrophic
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are ready to act quickly. A community comprises a variety of partners, including economic development professionals, business leaders, affordable housing advocates, faith-based organizations, and functional and access needs populations, and each has a significant part to play in recovery.
Pre-disaster planning ensures that an affected community is ready to undertake an
better situated to address pre-existing local needs, take advantage of available resources, and seize opportunities to increase local resiliency, sustainability, accessibility, and social equity. By working in advance to develop an understanding of needs and vulnerabilities, identify leaders, form partnerships, establish resources, and reach consensus on goals and policies, communities will be prepared to begin recovery immediately rather than struggle through a planning process in the wake of a disaster.
Why Prepare a Local Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan? • Establish clear leadership roles, including the mayor’s office, city manager, and city council, for more decisive and early leadership. • Improve public confidence in leadership through early, ongoing, and consistent communication of short- and long-term priorities. • Avoid the often difficult, ad hoc process
whole-community partnerships necessary to support individuals, businesses, and
through a definition of outreach resources and two-way communication methods the local government and key organizations will employ. • Maximize Federal, State, private-sector, and nongovernmental dollars through early and more defined local priorities and post-disaster planning activity. • Provide for more rapid and effective access to Federal and State resources through better understanding of funding resources and requirements ahead of time. • Enable local leadership to bring to bear all capability and more easily identify gaps through a coordination structure and defined roles. • Better leverage and apply limited State and nongovernment resources when there is no Federal disaster declaration. • Maximize
identification of local recovery needs and resources and ultimately reduce costs and disruption that result from chaotic, ad hoc, or inefficient allocation of resources. • Improve capability and continuity through preidentification of when, where, and how the local government will employ and seek support for post-disaster planning, city operations, recovery management, and technical assistance. • Proactively confront recovery and redevelopment policy choices in the deliberative and less contentious predisaster

The planning process introduced and discussed in this guide directly aligns with the process
Emergency Operations Plans: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101 (CPG 101). This guide is formatted to follow the six steps of CPG 101 and presents six standard planning steps in Chapters 7 through 12 and then presents key recommended activities that are specific to pre-disaster recovery planning efforts. Figure 1 can help to serve as a basic orienting checklist for preparing for recovery. Figure 1 Key Activities in the Pre-disaster Recovery Planning Process
