The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), in collaboration with the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), developed this planning resource. This document summarizes a landscape analysis of local health departments' (LHD) role in recovery conducted by NACCHO. The resource also includes a review of recovery-related documents, local plans, and federal guidance, and is designed to provide LHDs with a tool that is practical and focused on the local role in the recovery process. NACCHO also conducted key informant interviews to collect information from locals with firsthand experience in recovery. This document provides an overview of each recovery phase, including pre-disaster recovery planning and operational checklists highlighting key recovery objectives and activities associated with each phase of the recovery process.
