Recovery Support Functions
Modeled after the National Disaster Recovery Framework, the California Disaster Recovery Framework (CDRF) guides federal, state, local, private and voluntary/nonprofit entities in effectively supporting disaster-impacted jurisdictions to address gaps and rebuild resiliently. The purpose of CDRF is to identify long term recovery solutions and leverage resources after disasters to address the unmet needs of impacted jurisdictions through whole-community engagement. Using a multiagency partnership approach, the CDRF addresses the needs and interests of the stakeholders within the community. Stakeholders can include, but aren’t limited to, business and homeowners, families, children, seniors and individuals with access and functional needs. The Interagency Recovery Coordination program works collaboratively with traditional Stafford Act programs to align resources for long term recovery outcomes.
This unified and collaborative approach is coordinated by the State Disaster Recovery Coordinator (SDRC). The SDRC works in coordination with the Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator (FDRC), Public Assistance, Individual Assistance and Hazard Mitigation to identify and integrate whole community solutions for state, community, individual and family disaster recovery. Six sector-specific State Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) support the jurisdictions by facilitating problem solving, providing technical assistance, improving access to resources, building capacity and promoting community planning.
