<br />Preparedness Grants Manual <br />12.6. State Disaster Recovery Coordinator <br />The Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning Guide helps states prepare for recovery by developing pre- <br />disaster recovery plans that follow a process to engage members of the whole community, develop <br />recovery capabilities, and create an organizational framework for recovery efforts. <br />FEMA strongly recommends that EMPG Program recipients include pre-disaster recovery planning as <br />part of their State Readiness and Preparedness efforts by establishing an SDRC. An effective pre- <br />disaster recovery plan and process is crucial to help recipients prepare for major disaster incidents <br />and recover effectively. Recipients are encouraged to use the Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning Guide <br />to help inform their identification and establishment of a SDRC. The SDRC position should be <br />included in the State Administrative Plan with the following responsibilities: <br />.Development of the pre-disaster recovery plan, including state-level leadership and structure, <br />formation of communication channels, multi-agency coordination, and building whole-community <br />partnerships to support recovery efforts. <br />. <br />. <br />. <br />. <br />Set the stage for necessary strategic, operational, and tactical post-disaster planning, actions, <br />and processes. <br />Maximize impact of federal, private sector, and nongovernmental dollars to enable recovery and <br />resilience. <br />Accelerate the delivery of resources, including funding and TA, to disaster-impacted <br />communities. <br />Enable state leadership to better organize and identify gaps in the state’s recovery capabilities. <br />12.7. Disaster Financial Management Policies and Procedures <br />Lessons learned from recent hurricane seasons and wildfires demonstrate the need for impacted <br />jurisdictions to improve their ability to immediately track and account for disaster costs. Disaster <br />financial management includes policies and procedures that work to recover expenses pertaining to <br />damage, emergency protective measures, and debris management during and after a disaster. <br />These policies and procedures include, but are not limited to, those supporting eligible contract costs <br />and force account labor, materials, and equipment. <br />12.7.1. STATE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN <br />FEMA strongly recommends that EMPG Program recipients include disaster financial management <br />planning as part of their State Administrative Plan.
