Significance: Overview of responsibilities and workflow of long-term recovery groups

Description: Building a long-term community recovery program starts with assessing needs and selecting a leader to outline the program. Securing outside support and launching a public information campaign ensure transparency and engagement. Consensus-building follows, identifying key issues, setting goals, and prioritizing recovery projects. A comprehensive recovery plan is then developed, with leadership assigned to specific projects and a funding strategy established. Implementation follows, with regular updates to adapt to evolving community needs, ensuring sustained progress and long-term success.
