<br />Preparedness Grants Manual <br />available at National Preparedness and Planning Guides pages on FEMA.gov. Specific to evacuation <br />planning, the Evacuation and Shelter in Place Guidance identifies relevant concepts, considerations, <br />and principles that can inform jurisdictions in planning for evacuation and/or shelter-in-place <br />protective actions. <br />12.5. Disaster Housing Planning <br />12.5.1. STATE-LED DISASTER HOUSING TASK FORCE <br />Based on lessons learned from recent disasters, FEMA strongly encourages EMPG Program <br />recipients to establish a State-Led Disaster Housing Task Force (SLDHTF) plan as part of their EOP or <br />as a standalone document and update their plan at least once every two years. <br />SLDHTFs lead and coordinate state, local, private sector, and community-based actions to assess <br />housing impacts, identify appropriate post-disaster housing options, and establish processes for <br />expediting post-disaster housing delivery. SLDHTF plans should clearly identify the roles, <br />responsibilities, composition, and mobilization procedures for the SLDHTF, and how the SLDHTF <br />integrates into the incident command structure. To have a successful SLDHTF plan, FEMA <br />encourages recipients to establish a State Disaster Recovery Coordinator (SDRC). <br />.Complete the State Housing Strategy Template. <br />12.5.2. DISASTER HOUSING EXERCISES <br />SLTT governments are encouraged to exercise and validate their long-term sheltering and housing <br />stabilization plans as part of an existing exercise program. This includes: <br />.Validating the organizational structure of the Housing Task Force and internal readiness <br />capabilities to address post-disaster housing recovery. <br />.Validating disaster housing communication plans and procedures that coordinate and integrate <br />the activities and information generated by internal/external partners. <br />. <br />. <br />Validating data systems, security, and exchange protocols. <br />Validating planned actions and milestones transitioning from emergency sheltering to temporary <br />housing to permanent housing and long-term recovery. <br />12.5.3. ADDITIONAL DISASTER HOUSING PLANNING RESOURCES <br />SLTT governments are encouraged to review the planning guidance available at the Planning Guides <br />page on FEMA.gov. The Planning Guides page includes Planning Considerations: Disaster Housing <br />Guidance for State, Local, Tribal and Territorial Partners (May 2020), which supplements CPG 101 <br />v3. It provides guidance on national housing priorities, types of housing, key considerations, and <br />housing-specific planning recommendations for SLTT jurisdictions to use, in conjunction with the Six- <br />Step Planning Process described in CPG 101 v3, to develop or improve disaster housing plans. <br />101
