II. Background
The draft National Disaster Recovery
Framework (NDRF) addresses the short,
intermediate, and long-term challenges
of managing disaster recovery. Like the
National Response Framework (NRF),
the NDRF is intended to address all
hazards events, whether natural or manmade and provide constructs that are
scalable, adaptable, and responsive to
the changing needs of different
disasters. In recognizing the continuum
between preparedness, response,
recovery, and mitigation, the draft
NDRF is intended to overlap and
continue beyond the scope of the NRF.
This opportunity for public comment
on the draft NDRF is a continuation of
an extensive engagement effort
undertaken by the interagency Long
Term Disaster Recovery Working Group
established by the President in October
2009, and co-chaired by the Secretaries
of the Departments of Homeland
Security and Housing and Urban
Development. During the fall of 2009,
DHS/FEMA and HUD sponsored
outreach sessions in each of FEMA’s ten
regions and stakeholder forums in five
cities across the nation to provide
stakeholders from a wide array of
organizations and backgrounds the
opportunity to provide up-front input to
the Working Group on ways to
strengthen disaster recovery. DHS/
FEMA and HUD also organized
discussion roundtables with
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

professional associations and academic
experts. The Long-term Disaster
Recovery Working Group also created a
Web portal, https://
www.disasterrecoveryworkinggroup.gov,
which enabled a large and diverse group
of stakeholders to provide input. Over
six hundred stakeholders representing
local, state, tribal and federal
government, as well as public and
private sector organizations contributed
more than six thousand responses from
across the nation. FEMA, HUD, and the
Federal interagency partners on the
Working Group have reviewed this
stakeholder feedback and used it to
inform development of the draft NDRF.
We now seek direct feedback on the
draft NDRF itself through this public
comment period. The Long Term
Disaster Recovery Working Group is
also preparing a Report to the President
for delivery in early April that will
document the Working Group’s overall
findings and recommendations.
The draft NDRF provides recovery
concepts and principles important to all
disaster recovery stakeholders. It
provides guidance to stakeholders for
engaging in pre-disaster recovery
planning and other recovery
preparedness and resiliency building
efforts; clarifies roles for local, state,
tribal and Federal governments, privatenon-profit and private sector
organizations; provides guidance for
facilitating post-disaster recovery
planning to expedite long-term disaster
recovery; and provides assistance to
stakeholders in identifying recovery
needs beyond replacement or return to
pre-disaster condition. The document
also provides guidance that impacted
communities may use to develop
recovery priorities, and measure
recovery progress and outcomes against
their agreed-upon objectives. It also
provides guidance for both government
and non-governmental organizations
providing recovery assistance to track
progress, ensure accountability, and
make adjustments to ongoing assistance.
The draft NDRF lays out a systematic
approach to disaster recovery,
applicable to all levels of government
and sectors of communities with
recovery responsibilities. The draft
NDRF is a guidance document. It does
not have the force or effect of law.
FEMA seeks comment on the draft
NDRF, which is available online at
https://www.regulations.gov in docket ID
FEMA–2010–0004. Although FEMA
seeks comments on all aspects of the
document, we are particularly interested
in receiving input on whether the
document’s outline of the relationship
between the existing Emergency
Support Functions and the proposed
E:\FR\FM\10FEN1.SGM
10FEN1
6682
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 10, 2010 / Notices
Recovery Support Functions is clear.
Based on the comments received, FEMA
may make appropriate revisions to the
NDRF. Although FEMA will consider
any comments received in the drafting
of the final document, FEMA will not
provide a response to comments
document. When or if FEMA issues a
final NDRF, FEMA will publish a notice
of availability in the Federal Register
and make the final NDRF available at
https://www.regulations.gov. The final
policy will not have the force or effect
of law.
The NRF, which was issued January
22, 2008 and went into effect on March
22, 2008, may also assist you in your
review of the draft NDRF. The NRF was
also posted for public comment before
release. The NRF may be found on
