Hurricane Sandy Recovery Cross-Sectoral Recovery Strategy and Plan

ESL Management Solutions Limited was contracted by the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management to prepare Recovery Plans for four eastern parishes: St. Thomas, Portland, St. Mary and St. Catherine. These four parishes were identified as the most devastated by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012. 

Prior to this deliverable the consultants completed a Findings and Lessons Learnt report which informed the recommendations presented in this deliverable. The Recovery Plan has been divided into five volumes so that each parish plan can be pulled out as a stand-alone document: 

• Volume I: present the contextual setting of the project and introduces the recovery plan. It is expected that Volume I will be utilized by all four parishes.

• Volume II: presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Thomas. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and plan and strategic results-based framework. 

• Volume III: presents the recovery plan for the parish of Portland. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish and presents a summary of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan as well as the strategic results-based framework.

• Volume IV: presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Mary. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St. Mary and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and strategic results-based framework recommended for the parish. 

• Volume V: presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Catherine. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St Catherine, and an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan, as well as the strategic results-based framework recommended for St. Catherine.
