8 Preliminary Action Plan Regional Decision-Making Recommended Action DM-1: Use existing structures to convene jurisdictions and facilitate communication around disaster recovery collaboration DM-2: Examine the feasibility of a regional disaster recovery framework Level of Initial Implementation Tasks Implementation Regional Convene JPC and/or RPC to discuss potential formation of disaster recovery forum Identify potential roles and organizing structure for forum Identify goals and objectives for forum Recruit champion within RPC or JPC to help gather stakeholders Coordinate with other similar initiatives, such as the Joint Policy Committee s Climate Action and Energy Resilience Project Regional Look at existing recovery plans and frameworks to establish best practices and ensure integration Work with regional recovery forum to establish a working group tasked with development of a recovery framework Establish stakeholder input process to solicit feedback from local jurisdictions DM-3: Integrate resilience policy into current plans and practices Regional, local DM-4: Lead reconnaissance missions for Regional, local local leaders, staff, and community leaders to areas undergoing disaster recovery DM-5: Establish and maintain a recovery clearinghouse to house resources for predisaster recovery planning and postdisaster recovery guidance Housing Incorporate resilience discussions into the second iteration of the SCS Identify best practices for jurisdictions and develop a guide to assist in implementation Identify potential funding sources Identify leaders to attend, such as ABAG s RPC members or other groups Establish a MOU with EERI to expand their program to include local stakeholders Regional, local Identify a staff lead, with funding, to begin research and resource collection Examine platforms for sharing, including websites, Base Camp, and filesharing systems

9 Significant Outcomes Development of key actions based on topic-specific findings, stakeholder comments, and further research (under development) Initiating and bringing together diverse stakeholders on a broad range of complex, little-explored topics Bringing these issues to policy makers who have the power to begin to implement actions Development of a framework for a regional approach to recovery
