This Local Recovery Planning Toolkit includes materials to support locally-managed short-term and intermediate recovery efforts, as well as materials to assist with the transition to long-term recovery, managed by a Long Term Recovery Committee (LTRC).

The “Local Recovery Planning Materials” section relates to supporting local recovery planning efforts by establishing buy-in for the process, and provides materials to support the development of a plan, including working with recovery partners. The resources provided in this section support:

• ​Engaging local elected officials for support of local recovery planning efforts.

• Developing a local recovery plan.

• Meeting with Recovery Support Function (RSF) partners to develop RSF Annexes to the Local Recovery Plan.

The “Long Term Recovery Committee Guides and Resources” section relates to transitioning management of a recovery effort to a Long Term Recovery Committee (LTRC), and provides materials to help local jurisdictions establish a LTRC to manage the casework and ongoing recovery efforts that can continue for years. This section includes resources to support:​

• Establishing a Long Term Recovery Committee

• Understanding how other jurisdictions have managed long-term recovery, through case studies and examples of materials developed by other LTRCs.​
