Community Recovery. Definition: Community Recovery is the ability to collaborate with community partners, e.g., healthcare organizations, business, education, and emergency management) to plan and advocate for the rebuilding of public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health systems to at least a level of functioning comparable to pre-incident levels and improved levels where possible.
Community Recovery. This deliverable requirement will help cover this gap. The purpose is to create a framework from which a full plan will emerge. Write either a stand-alone document or a section into a current plan for supporting community recovery operations following a disaster. This planning component does not have to be detailed; a high-level overview will be sufficient. It should encompass the purpose, scope of recovery, roles, responsibilities, local partners, access and functional needs, and a caveat for providing service as-able. The first step is to identify and review potential public health needs during disaster recovery with community and response partners. These partners should also understand the scope and roles of public health during recovery. Keep in mind that your roles should not go beyond the currently available services you provide. Sharing this information is critical to recovery planning. Remember that recovery is more than just returning to the previous status after a disaster. It is an opportunity to establish a modern and up-to-date standard. Consider sharing and gathering input for your recovery framework with these partners. • Emergency manager • School administrators • Hospital administrators or emergency managers • Local health officials • Local elected leadership • Social service representatives Public health recovery is a broad endeavor. You will need many more partners from several community sectors to do full recovery planning, but public health is the current focus. Public health recovery activities (operations) should include the following. • Restore services • Provide long-term follow-up to those affected • Implement recommendations from after-action reports • Ensure sustained, basic and surge capacities of public health resources • Address the psychosocial needs of impacted populations and responders This is a framework, not a full plan, so details and processes are not needed. Keep it high-level. DPHHS PHEP will provide guidance and technical assistance. A template will be developed in the coming budget period. To fulfill this deliverable:
Community Recovery. Introduction <.. image(Heavy Construction Equipment moving soil for construction Public Domain Image #1735 from xxxx://xxxx.xxx.xxx ) removed ..> This capability includes activities related to the recovery of public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health systems and services, including planning, advocacy, collaboration, and monitoring by health departments and community partners. These activities enable public health departments to prepare for alternative delivery and continuity of services during response and recovery operations as well as to plan for the restoration of impacted services.

Community Recovery. Definition: Community recovery is the ability to collaborate with community partners, (e.g., healthcare organizations, business, education, and emergency management) to plan and advocate for the rebuilding of public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health systems to at least a level of functioning comparable to pre-incident levels, and improved levels where possible. This capability supports National Health Security Strategy Objective 8: Incorporate Post-Incident Health Recovery into Planning and Response. Post-incident recovery of the public health, medical and mental/behavioral health services, and systems within a jurisdiction is critical for health security and requires collaboration and advocacy by the public health agency for the restoration of services, providers, facilities, and infrastructure within the public health, medical and human services sectors. Monitoring the public health, medical and mental/behavioral health infrastructure is an essential public health service.

Individuals in need of additional response assistance may include those who have disabilities; live in institutionalized settings; are seniors; are children; are from diverse cultures; have limited English proficiency or are non-English speaking; or are transportation disadvantaged. Mental and behavioral health services: Mental and behavioral health services are health services that restore and/or provide coping strategies for a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. Pre-incident recovery planning (Jurisdictional or Community): Pre-disaster recovery planning describes the establishment of processes and protocols, prior to a disaster, for coordinated post-disaster recovery planning and implementation through engagement between public health and key partners and sectors – including emergency management, healthcare providers, community leaders, media, businesses, service providers for at-risk populations, and more. (Definition adapted from the National Disaster Recovery Framework). Self-sufficiency: Self-sufficiency is independence and self-reliance for health and well-being. Examples include providing tips on self-care and staying safe and secure in one’s environment. Service restoration: Service restoration refers to the re-establishment of a utility or commodity, such as water, electricity, or gas offered by a public or private entity. Service restoration can include such things as access to a hospital, clinic, or daycare services. Shelter information: Shelter information is content describing the pertinent features and characteristics (location, access/transportation, services offered, etc.) of one or more congregate locations that houses, feeds, and provides basic services to individuals in need in the context of a disaster or other emergency. Vector safety: Vector safety is an activity focused on the prevention of illness, exposure, and/or death in humans due to an organism (e.g., ticks, mosquitoes) that transmits a pathogen (e.g., virus, bacteria, and parasite).
Community Recovery. Issues The parties agree the key issue to be addressed is: • Provision for the development of a Local Management Plan and involvement in the Southern Regional Recovery Committee.
