Long-term recovery occurs over an extended period following a disaster in which public agencies and volunteer organizations assist individuals and communities that have been impacted to develop and implement recovery plans. Long-term recovery is unique to each event and the community(ies) impacted. Recovery activities are dependent on the type of disaster and available resources.

 

Strong, well-organized partnerships will enhance the coordination of responding individuals, faith-based organizations, and government and community organizations who wish to address the unmet needs of communities, families, and individuals.
