State of Florida Recovery Plan

This Recovery Plan describes the methods the state will use to conduct recovery activities. The Recovery Annex integrates the tenets of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF) in order to maximize the effectiveness of preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation activities. Recovery activities addressed in this plan include: the Federal Declaration and Assistance processes, Recovery Field Operations and programs, State Emergency Operations Center activities, Joint Field Office activities, and the roles and responsibilities of Recovery personnel.

The State of Florida Recovery Plan addresses the consequences of any emergency or disaster in which there is a need for state recovery assistance. It is applicable to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, drought, and fires. It also becomes applicable should there be a technological or man-made emergency such as hazardous material release or other incidents requiring state assistance. The Recovery Plan utilizes other plans and standard operating guidelines, depending on the type of incident requiring recovery assistance and whether recovery activities are being initiated pre- or post-incident.
