How does the NRF emphasize the role of recovery in disaster management?

The National Response Framework (NRF) emphasizes the role of recovery in disaster management by integrating recovery into the overall response strategy. This approach recognizes that recovery is not just a phase that occurs after the immediate response but is a fundamental aspect of disaster management throughout the entire process. By weaving recovery into the response strategy, the NRF encourages planning and coordination among federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector partners. This ensures that decisions made during the response phase anticipate the needs of recovery, thereby fostering a more resilient recovery process.

This integration also highlights the importance of continuous community engagement and stakeholder involvement, ensuring that recovery efforts align with the needs of the affected populations and facilitate long-term rebuilding efforts. By focusing on both response and recovery together, the NRF promotes a comprehensive view of disaster management that supports both immediate and future needs of communities.
