FEMA Seeks Feedback on Guide for Achieving Equitable Recovery
FEMA is seeking feedback on the draft version of “Achieving Equitable Recovery: A Post-Disaster Guide for Local Officials.” The 30-day comment period closes on March 15.
The guide is organized around eight goals focused on approaches to engaging and identifying the needs of all community members and ensuring a more accessible, inclusive and equitable recovery planning process.
It was created to make it easier for local leaders to understand, prepare for, and execute their leadership responsibilities to help:
- Promote equity in recovery organizational structures
- Create accountability around equitable outcomes
- Establish an inclusive recovery planning process
- Recover from disasters
FEMA is hosting a series of 60-minute webinars to provide an overview of the draft guide and gather feedback. The sessions will include facilitated discussions with stakeholders to help improve the existing draft.
