Long-Term Disaster Recovery Plan-Prepared for the City of Oakland as a Model Plan for Local Governments in the San Francisco Bay Area (June 30, 2010)

The purpose of this Long-Term Disaster Recovery Plan is to develop a model action plan for the City of Oakland, as well as to identify the components of this type of plan for the cities and counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. We hope that this Plan serves as a catalyst for dialog on public policies and actions needed to improve disaster recovery planning.

This June 2010 Plan only covers eight of the nine issues identified by ABAG as critical to recovery: financing recovery issues, recovery of government facilities and services, long-term housing recovery, long-term recovery of business, long-term recovery of health care, schools and education, utilities and transportation, and land use change. ABAG is in the process of developing a regional Long-Term Disaster Recovery Planning Council that will address the final issue of overall disaster recovery coordination and governance. 
Each issue identified has three sections: 
• a chapter summary of critical actions;
• a report on the City’s status in implementing those actions; and 
• an issue paper describing the problem prepared for ABAG’s Regional Planning Committee.

Finally, as background, a copy of the survey ABAG prepared on the status of long term disaster recovery planning by local governments in the San Francisco Bay Area is included.
