Description:
The Community Recovery Management Toolkit is compiled by the US Federal Emergency Management Agency. After a crisis, in the recovery process, local leadership is under intense pressure and must manage many tasks at once. This toolkit is designed to help them do their job in the best possible way and to ensure a just, thoughtful, resilient rebuilding at the same time. Some of the tools presented include the involvement of citizens or the organization of volunteers.
A quick search makes it easy to find the information you need, rather than having to go through all the categories. The resources in the toolbox are grouped into these four main categories: The category "organizing and lead", is about how community leadership and stakeholders can organize and coordinate to jointly assess, prioritize, engage partners, and coordinate resources.The “assess, plan, and decide” category is about local leaders being the link between federal, state and NGO officials and their community. They should therefore represent their community and its needs. After a crisis, there are many financial resources that you need to get an overview of and for which you need to carefully analyse your claims. The resources in the "identify programs & resources" category will help you with this. The last category deals with how to "manage grants and finances." Although grants are an important financial resource to fill the gaps in the communities' economies, the applications and processes are complicated. This section is intended to help identify and apply for the appropriate grants, despite stress and possible understaffing.
