Recovery 17
Recovery 17 : "Recovery involves actions, and the implementation of programs, needed to help individuals and communities return to normal. Recovery programs are designed to assist victims and their families, restore institutions to sustain economic growth and confidence, rebuild destroyed property, and reconstitute government operations and services. Recovery actions often extend long after the incident itself. Recovery programs include mitigation components designed to avoid damage from future incidents. Typical recovery actions may include: (1) Repair and replacement of disaster damaged public facilities (roads, bridges, municipal buildings, schools, hospitals, qualified non-profits); (2) Debris cleanup and removal; (3) Temporary housing and other assistance for disasters victims and their families; (4) Low-interest loans to help individuals and businesses with long-term rebuilding and mitigation measures; (5) Restoration of public services (electric power, water, sewer, telephone); (6) Crisis counseling and mental health; (7) Disaster unemployment; and (8) Planning and programs for long-term economic stabilization, community recovery and mitigation".
