Goal 5.4: Recovery

Rapidly Recover from a Catastrophic Event

Other Information:

Improve the Nation's ability to adapt and rapidly recover. Catastrophic events produce changes in habitability, the environment, the economy, and even in geography that often can preclude a rapid return to the way things were. Our national ability to stabilize the affected area is key to saving and sustaining lives, enabling the delivery of an effective response, and building the foundation for recovery. Coordination and unity of effort between individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and local, tribal, territorial, state, and federal governments is vital to recovery efforts. Individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, local, tribal, state, and federal governments all have responsibilities in disaster recovery, underscoring the need to improve coordination and unity of effort.
