Disaster Recovery Framework

Modeled on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Disaster Recovery Framework, a local Disaster Recovery Framework will be created to guide both pre- and post-event recovery activities to help ensure that San Francisco can launch an effective recovery following a major disaster, which will help expedite the restoration of services, encourage residents and businesses to stay, and establish confidence in local decision-making. The Framework will include descriptions of the roles and responsibilities of City departments, authorizing bodies, state and federal agencies, as well as community stakeholders in supporting recovery. Recovery Support Function (RSFs) action plans will define the core recovery goals and actions of City agencies and supporting organizations.
