• This chapter emphasizes community-based and stakeholder-involved pre- and post-disaster recovery planning. Strategies for managing both disaster planning are highlighted including participatory, citizen-science approaches, as well as more conventional planning efforts. Skill sets that support community-based planning, such as community organizing, are discussed. Key elements of recovery plans will be addressed to lay a foundation for chapters to come. While common planning templates will be presented, the overall approach will emphasize that planning must reflect local contexts, needs, and involvement. This chapter emphasizes community-based and stakeholder-involved pre- and post-disaster recovery planning. It highlights strategies for managing both disaster planning including participatory, citizen-science approaches, and conventional planning efforts. The chapter discusses skill sets that support community-based planning, such as community organizing. Preliminary damage assessments (PDA) provide useful data gathered several ways. Using this method, assessment teams drive through an area to count the numbers and types of homes and businesses impacted. The PDA serves as a means for emergency managers to summarize damage in a report to their state governor, who then requests a Presidential Disaster Declaration through FEMA. Disaster planning involves those affected in making informed decisions about the plan that will affect lives, livelihoods, housing, the economic sector, the environment, and the infrastructure for generations. Good plans must serve well the people who will experience the results of the planning efforts.
