• The National Disaster Recovery Framework comes with no new funding or authorities.
• Different states and communities have used different RSF structures.• Pre-disaster relationships are important in recovery, too. The partners
you’ll need will be broader than in response.• Look for other planning efforts to build on like community health and
preventive health planning.• Health care is a business and often a significant part of the local
economy.• Parents can’t get back to work if their children don’t have a safe,
dependable place to go.• After a disaster, some people will have new or increased needs, and
some people will be accessing services for the first time. Also consider what happens when people are displaced or services are disrupted.
