Recovery Framework
Recovery is complicated and collaborative
Federal government is trying to establish a more structured
and multi-layered
Various Recovery Support Functions assigned to different
agencies

Mission
To

Louisiana and
its citizens in the
preparation

response
to +
recovery
from all
emergencies + disasters.
Emergency Management Cycle
Mitigation efforts are attempts to prevent hazards from
developing into disasters or to reduce the effects of disasters
Emergency managers develop plans of action to
manage & counter their risks & take action to build the
necessary capabilities needed to implement such plans
Recovery efforts are primarily concerned with actions
that involve rebuilding destroyed property,
re-employment & the repair of other essential
infrastructure
Response includes the mobilization of necessary
emergency services & first responders in the disaster
area

Prevention happens when property and lives are
protected by those that identify, deter or stop an
incident from occurring

What do we do?
GOHSEP is the lead agency coordinating with
the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA)
in
two
critical areas:
Public Assistance Grant Program
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
Public Assistance Grant
Program
Supplemental grant assistance for disasters
declared by the President for:
Debris Removal
Emergency Protective Measures
Repair/Replacement/Restoration of disaster-
damaged, publicly owned facilities
Hazard mitigation defined
Hazard Mitigation
(HM)
is any
sustained
action
taken to
reduce
or
eliminate
future risk to people
and property from natural and man-made
disasters.
Mitigation is
breaking the cycle
of disaster –
damage – reconstruction – repeated damage.
Hazard Mitigation
Planning
+ Your
Community
A
Hazard Mitigation Plan
(HMP)
is
required
to receive
FEMA hazard mitigation funding
.
Risk Assessment: Identify Hazards
Describe
all natural hazards
that
effect
the
jurisdictions
in the planning area.
Vulnerability
Demonstrated through
past occurrences
.
Characteristics of the community’s assets that make jurisdictions
susceptible to damage
.
Impact
Consequences
or
effects
of past occurrences on the community
assets.

State goals:
Improve
education

efforts.
Improve
data collection

Possible actions:

Prioritize
actions to guide how you implement funding.
Cost Effectiveness Requirement
Demonstrate cost-effectiveness.
Must be
cost-effective
+
substantially reduce
the
risk
of
future
damage, hardship, loss or suffering resulting from a major
disaster.
Should be demonstrated by performing a Benefit Cost Analysis -
BCA
