Wide Area Recovery and Resiliency Program (WARRP) Knowledge Enhancement Events: Private Sector Economic Resiliency & Restoration - Part 2 After Action Report

Abstract

The Private Sector Economic Recovery & Resiliency Knowledge Enhancement Working Group Session II discovered private and public sectors are not aligned in their disaster recovery planning. Greater communication and planning between groups is necessary to strengthen the ability of communities to recover their economies quickly following an event. The event sought to identify and define business and community requirements, policy issues, and financial resources necessary for economic resiliency following a large-scale incident that affects a wide urban area. The participants included representatives from multiple public agencies and area businesses. Breakout groups discussed the notion that communication is the biggest obstacle during a recovery; where do businesses go for complete, accurate information to assist in their recovery? How will that information be presented (internet, reader boards, twitter, and etc.)? Who do they trust to give the needed information?
