Discuss the below in a 2000 words:
Question 1
Do Internet research to identify a recent emergency or disaster in which significant recovery efforts are or will be needed. Describe the incident, the types of damage, and what will likely be needed to help affected communities recover. Check whether the incident received a federal disaster declaration on the FEMA disaster declarations web page and if so, note information about the types of damage and costs and what types of federal assistance were granted.
Question 2
Consider the purpose of a pre-disaster recovery plan. Prepare a response that identifies an organization that should be represented on a local government's pre-disaster recovery planning team that might not have been a stakeholder to emergency operations plan (EOP) development.
Question 3
Review the NDRF recovery support functions (RSFs) and select one on which to focus. Recognizing that the NDRF identifies federal agencies and roles involved in each RSF, write a short paper that applies the RSF model to the local community where you live or work. In narrative form, identify and explain the following for the RSF you selected at the local government level where you live or work:
1. departments and organizations that should be involved and lead the RSF (at the local level in your city, county, or community) during preparedness and in response and why;
2. activities and responsibilities of the local RSF pre-disaster and post-disaster; how does the RSF support disaster recovery?;
3. examples pre-disaster planning and activities the RSF should/can do.
Identify and explain any challenges you can anticipate the RSF might encounter in its work (pre- and post-disaster).
Question 4
Prepare a paper that explains the three main FEMA-administered types of financial recovery assistance and the process for requesting and receiving that assistance. Explore why these programs are needed. Include reference citations in APA Style.
