Ralls County Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan

This Pre-Disaster Recovery Plan aims to facilitate and expedite Ralls County’s local disaster recovery operations and help the community establish a “new normal” following a natural or human-caused disaster. The Plan outlines the Ralls County’s approach to coordination, organization, and collaboration to leverage the collective capabilities, expertise, and resources of public, private, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) recovery partners to support a comprehensive, community-wide recovery.

This Plan applies to all government agencies within Ralls County, along with the private sector, volunteer organizations, and its residents. Furthermore, it applies to response (where appropriate) and recovery operations during state- and Presidentially declared emergencies or major disasters. This Plan will be applied following a disaster after the initial response phase has passed and immediate threats to life and property have been stabilized.

This Plan supports and integrates state and federal plans that aid in recovery operations, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) and the National Response Framework, 4th Edition. The Plan adheres to planning development guidance set forth in FEMA’s Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide 101, Version 2.0 and Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning Guide for Local Governments.
