Experience with recent disaster recovery efforts highlights the
need for additional guidance, structure and support to improve how
we as a Nation address recovery challenges. This experience prompts
us to better understand the obstacles to disaster recovery and the
challenges faced by communities that seek disaster assistance. The
National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) is a guide to promote
effective recovery, particularly for those incidents that are
large-scale or catastrophic. The NDRF provides guidance that
enables effective recovery support to disaster-impacted States,
Tribes and local jurisdictions. It provides a flexible structure
that enables disaster recovery managers to operate in a unified and
collaborative manner. It also focuses on how best to restore,
redevelop and revitalize the health, social, economic, natural and
environmental fabric of the community and build a more resilient
Nation. The NDRF defines: Core recovery principles; Roles and
responsibilities of recovery coordinators and other stakeholders; A
coordinating structure that facilitates communication and
collaboration among all stakeholders; Guidance for pre- and
post-disaster recovery planning; The overall process by which
communities can capitalize on opportunities to rebuild stronger,
smarter and safer. These elements improve recovery support and
expedite recovery of disaster-impacted individuals, families,
businesses and communities. While the NDRF speaks to all who are
impacted or otherwise involved in disaster recovery, it
concentrates on support to individuals and communities. The NDRF
introduces four new concepts and terms: Federal Disaster Recovery
Coordinator (FDRC); State or Tribal Disaster Recovery Coordinators
(SDRC or TDRC); Local Disaster Recovery Managers (LDRM); Recovery
Support Functions (RSFs). The FDRC, SDRC, TDRC and LDRM provide
focal points for incorporating recovery considerations into the
decisionmaking process and monitoring the need for adjustments in
assistance where necessary and feasible throughout the recovery
process. The RSFs are six groupings of core recovery capabilities
that provide a structure to facilitate problem solving, improve
access to resources, and foster coordination among State and
Federal agencies, nongovernmental partners and stakeholders. The
concepts of the FDRCs, SDRCs, TDRCs and RSFs are scalable to the
nature and size of the disaster. The NDRF aligns with the National
Response Framework (NRF). The NRF primarily addresses actions
during disaster response. Like the NRF, the NDRF seeks to establish
an operational structure and to develop a common planning
framework. Fundamentally, the NDRF is a construct to optimally
engage existing Federal resources and authorities, and to
incorporate the full capabilities of all sectors in support of
community recovery. The effective implementation of the NDRF,
whether or not in the context of a Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) declaration,
requires strong coordination across all levels of government, NGOs
and the private sector. It also requires an effective, accessible
public information effort so that all stakeholders understand the
scope and the realities of recovery. The NDRF provides guidance to
assure that recovery activities respect the civil rights and civil
liberties of all populations and do not result in discrimination on
account of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age or
disability. Understanding legal obligations and sharing best
practices when planning and implementing recovery strategies to
avoid excluding groups on these bases is critical. The NDRF is a
guide to promote effective recovery. It is a concept of operations
and not intended to impose new, additional or unfunded net resource
requirements on Federal agencies.
