The purpose of the Thurston Region Disaster Recovery Framework (TRDRF) is to guide communities in Thurston County through a joint, focused, systematic, timely, and effective recovery from a disaster. The TRDRF addresses strategic recovery activities and allocation of incoming scarce resources for disasters where normal recovery activities and operations become overtaxed, or where there is a need for regional coordination of recovery planning and operations.
Recovery includes the restoration and strengthening of key systems and resource assets that are critical to the economic stability, vitality, and long-term sustainability of the communities themselves. These include health (including behavioral health) and human services capabilities and networks, public and private disability support and service systems, schools and educational systems, community social networks, natural and cultural resources, affordable and accessible housing, infrastructure systems, and local and regional economic drivers. The recovery will continually balance the need to recover expeditiously with opportunities to build communities that are safer, stronger, and more sustainable.
