This
instructor-based training will present information on how communities can plan
for housing recovery after a disaster.
The course will introduce lessons learned from recent disasters and will
provide an overview of currently available resources and tools for disaster planning.
The
workshop will provide a training consisting of planning tools and resources for
the community to conduct disaster housing planning and damage assessments. The
curriculum will include opportunities to develop stronger partnerships between
the public and private sectors, provide checklist based resources for use in a
pre- and post-disaster environment, and best practices for enhancing community
mitigation and disaster resilience. The
course will be driven by a scenario-based curriculum designed to apply
knowledge, skills, and abilities on housing recovery, with a focus on the whole
community approach to emergency management.
