Recovery
- As soon as you are able, start your recovery plan. This usually is possible once the disaster has ended or lessened. Your EMD can inform you about the disaster status.
- If your library or collection suffered damage, COSTEP has information about recovery assistance. The NEDCC can also provide disaster recovery assistance and resources.
- Your community may still require enhanced services as it recovers. Your plans, training, the apps and tools above, and your support will help your community rebuild.
