Emergency Response Planning

Rebuilding Disasters with Sustainability in Mind
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2005 (SCARP-FORUM, UBC, message, Tom J. Lancaster) - A new US Federal Emergency Management Agency program - Long Term Recovery - strives to rebuild disaster communities as safer, more sustainable places, rather than merely repairing things back to their previous state. Increasingly, major relief funding is being explicitly tied to recovery plans demonstrating sustainability. http://www.planning.org/planning/nonmember/fixingfuture.htm.http://www.fema.gov/fima/rebuilding.shtm.
