Recovery Bureau

Supports local and tribal entities after a disaster to coordinate with state and federal agencies to provide assistance to impacted residents, and to repair and rebuild communities in ways that make them more resilient.

Recovery Definition according to FEMA: “Timely restoration, strengthening and revitalization of infrastructure, housing and a sustainable economy, as well as the health, social, cultural, historic and environmental fabric of communities affected by a catastrophic incident.”

This image shows the disaster recovery lifecycle which shows that recovery is a cyclical, interdependent process where response, rebuilding, and mitigation often overlap.
