The Obama Administration has launched a new website to inform the public and hear from stakeholders, including nonprofits, that wish to submit ideas about disaster recovery.
A posted web form includes 16 questions related to disaster preparation, assistance and recovery. One question addresses nonprofits in particular: "How can the nonprofit and private sectors be better integrated into recovery?"
LANO encourages nonprofit organizations to answer the questions that pertain to your work and expertise.
The submitted answers will help guide the newly formed Long Term Disaster Recovery Working Group. The Working Group includes more than 20 federal departments, agencies and offices, all focused on ensuring that individuals, communities and the nation’s economy can successfully recover from (and revitalize after) natural and man-made disasters over the long term.
The Long Term Disaster Recovery Working Group will be chaired by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan.
The Working Group will provide the President with recommendations and help develop a National Disaster Recovery Framework with detailed operational guidance to recovery organizations under existing authorities.
