DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

A DRP plan is a plan that is established to take actions prior to, during & after any occurrence that may bring disruption to routine activities

The primary objective in a DRP is to restore activities functioning within the shortest time possible.

A DRP covers procedures to be followed during a disaster and after the disaster such as reporting to personnel, actions taken to recover operations, and conducting activities after a disaster.

A DRP may be perceived as a form of preparation for the end of all activities or worst scenarios (Wallace & Webber, 2017)

National events like the terrorist attacks of 2001 and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have focused attention on the need for recovery planning. Citizens who are physically and mentally healthy are necessary for any community to recover from a disaster. While there are a plethora of resources to assist state health agencies in planning for response operations, there are few resources available to plan for recovery operations. Part of the challenge in developing recovery plans is that it can be difficult to distinguish between response and recovery activities. While they can be similar, the intent of the two is different. Disaster response is focused on the immediate need to protect human life and the physical infrastructure from the immediate effects of the disaster. Recovery, on the other hand, is broader in scope. The goal of recovery is to ensure the economic sustainability of a community and the long term physical and mental well-being of its citizens, to rebuild and repair the physical infrastructure, and to implement mitigation activities to reduce the impact of future disasters. The state health agency has a key role to play in all of these response and recovery activities. Any disaster, no matter how large or small, disrupts the daily activity of a community. Initial response activities are necessary to protect citizens and infrastructure, but recovery activities allow a community to come back from a disaster. At its core, disaster recovery focuses on a return to order and normalcy within a community following a disaster DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

3 SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM RECOVERY

DRP entails accomplishing short & long-term objectives

Short-term recovery & response happen occur simultaneously

Example include: civil education awareness on health & safety risks & environmental assessment

Long-term recovery starts when urgent health & safety demands have been fulfilled & the focus changes to reconstruction.

Long-term recovery can be a long process, lasting years based on the extent of the disaster. DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

It is during this period the community has the biggest chance to execute mitigation processes that can limit the future effect of situations that enhance community risk (Wallace & Webber, 2017)

Disaster recovery includes meeting short- and long-term goals. Short-term recovery and response occur simultaneously and examples include public education campaigns on health and safety risks and environmental assessment. Addressing the mental health effects of adisaster may become part of a long-term recovery process, but is a significant component of an immediate recovery plan. The urgent environmental impacts of a disaster should also be addressed as soon as possible after an event. 4 LONG-TERM RECOVERY BEGINS WHEN IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND SAFETY NEEDS HAVE BEEN MET AND THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO RECONSTRUCTION. Long-term recovery can be a lengthy process, taking years depending on the severity of the disaster. 4 IT IS AT THIS TIME THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS THE GREATEST

Plan: 2 A GOOD PLAN INCLUDES CLEAR OBJECTIVES AND CONCRETE STEPS TO ACHIEVE THEM.

5 THE OBJECTIVES YOU SET WILL BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR ISSUE OR COMMUNITY; THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ONES IN HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020.

Implement: 2 FIRST, CREATE A DETAILED WORKPLAN THAT LAYS OUT CONCRETE ACTION STEPS, IDENTIFIES WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLETING THEM, AND SETS A TIMELINE AND/OR DEADLINES.

5 MAKE SURE ALL PARTNERS ARE ON BOARD WITH THE WORKPLAN. DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

NEXT, CONSIDER IDENTIFYING A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT TO MANAGE THE PROCESS AND ENSURE THAT THINGS GET DONE.

Track: 2 PLAN REGULAR EVALUATIONS TO MEASURE AND TRACK YOUR PROGRESS OVER TIME.

5 CONSIDER PARTNERING WITH A LOCAL UNIVERSITY OR STATE CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS TO HELP WITH DATA TRACKING. SOME THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE EVALUATING DATA OVER TIME:

Data Quality: 2 BE SURE TO CHECK FOR STANDARDIZATION OF DATA COLLECTION, ANALYSIS, AND STRUCTURE OF QUESTIONS.

LIMITATIONS OF SELF-REPORTED DATA: WHEN YOU ARE RELYING ON SELF- REPORTED DATA (SUCH AS EXERCISE FREQUENCY OR INCOME), BE AWARE OF SELF-REPORTING BIAS.

7 PREPAREDNESS ENCOMPASSES ACTIONS DESIGNED TO BUILD ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCY AND/OR ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY AND CAPABILITIES FOR RESPONSE TO AND RECOVERY FROM HAZARD IMPACTS. IT INCLUDES ACTIVITIES THAT ESTABLISH, EXERCISE, REFINE, AND MAINTAIN SYSTEMS USED FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY. THE CRITICAL TASK IN PREPAREDNESS PLANNING IS TO DEFINE THE SYSTEM (HOW ASSETS ARE ORGANIZED) AND PROCESSES (ACTIONS AND INTERACTIONS THAT MUST OCCUR) THAT WILL GUIDE EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND RECOVERY. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EFFECTIVE EOP (SEE BELOW FOR SUGGESTED EOP FORMATS). STAFF SHOULD BE EDUCATED AND TRAINED ON THE SYSTEM SO THEY GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NECESSARY TO ADEQUATELY PERFORM THEIR ASSIGNED ROLES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PROCEDURES AND SYSTEMS USED TO CONDUCT PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES (COMMITTEE STRUCTURE AND MEETINGS, MEMO WRITING, REGULAR EMAIL NOTIFICATION OF MEETINGS, ETC.) ARE TYPICALLY NOT ADEQUATE FOR USE DURING EMERGENCY RESPONSE. THIS POINT IS OFTEN MISSED BY ORGANIZATIONS AS THEY ATTEMPT TO UTILIZE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEES AND THEIR ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES TO MANAGE RESPONSE TO AN EVENT. THE EOP DEFINES EFFECTIVE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN
