Course Details

Course Description

When disaster hits, the urgency of the initial response often prevents us from planning for the longer recovery phase. This is the challenge in recovery planning. How can we re-establish vital services to the community while also improving organizational and community resilience? Planning for recovery BEFORE disaster strikes helps to establish partnerships, roles, and key priorities to address in a post-disaster environment.

This course provides an overview of the recovery planning process, in both a pre-disaster and post-disaster context. Participants will review current guidance and best practices in recovery planning, along with a summary of key planning activities for public health, healthcare, and social service organizations.
