Community emergency preparedness roundtable discussion
Community Planning and Capacity Building?
Community planning and capability building is the ability to plan for recovery, engage the community in the recovery planning process and build capacity for local plan implementation and recovery management. Following a disaster, communities and their local governments are often forced to make complex recovery decisions. These decisions range widely and can include important topics such as business reinvestment, affordable housing, and building long-term resilience. In addition, many of these communities may lack the capability to address the planning and decision-making processes needed to start their recovery. The consequences of these decisions may impact community prosperity, safety, and identity for years to come.
Community Preparedness Roundtable Discussion provides a forum where Governmental and non-governmental partners come together to share information and pool planning support resources. These resources can include planning technical assistance, program support, or funding for planning and capacity building-related initiatives.
