FEMA Updates its National Disaster Recovery Framework to Enhance Disaster Recovery

---

FEMA has updated the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) to streamline and clarify the federal government’s approach for providing disaster recovery resources and support to disaster impacted communities. The NDRF explains the federal government’s roles and responsibilities for organizing and deploying disaster recovery assistance. It also enhances effective collaboration among federal agencies and state, local, territorial governments and Tribal Nations, while informing nongovernmental partners. The 30-day public comment period is open through Oct. 23, 2024.

States, local governments, Tribal Nations and territories, as well as nonprofits and the emergency management community, are encouraged to visit fema.gov to review FEMA’s updates to its National Disaster Recovery Framework. Key revisions focus on clarifying roles and responsibilities, detailing the Federal Recovery Support Function structure and its role in supporting local recovery goals, enhancing collaboration across the whole community, and providing practical resources to assist in recovery planning efforts.

The updates also incorporate feedback from Tribal Nations, territories, state and local partners, nonprofits and voluntary organizations. FEMA engaged business, industry and academic partners to gather lessons learned, best practices and other input to maximize the usefulness of the framework.

The 30-day public comment period is open Sept. 24, 2024, and written comments may be submitted through fema.gov through Oct. 23, 2024. Any remarks received during the comment period will be reviewed and considered for the final version of the framework.
