Recovery What Is It And How Will We Measure It?
- Slide 3
- Learning Objectives Become familiar with Capability Functions
Become familiar with Tasks that complete the Functions Understand
how these Functions and Tasks are measured or may be measured in
the future (Performance Measures)
- Slide 4
- Community Recovery Community recovery is the ability to
collaborate with community partners, to plan the rebuilding of
public health, medical, and mental/ behavioral health systems and
restore their functioning to at least pre-incident levels, if not
improve them. How can health departments help their communities
plan for recovery? What goes into making communities able to
recover from disasters?
- Slide 5
- Community Recovery Functions What Can Health Departments Do to
Plan for Community Recovery? 1.Identify and monitor recovery needs
covered by public health, medical, and mental/behavioral health
systems 2.Coordinate community public health, medical, and
mental/behavioral health system recovery operations 3.Implement
corrective actions to lessen damages from future incidents
- Slide 6
- Health System Terms For purposes of simplicity, public health,
medical and mental/behavioral health will be referred to as ESF 8,
since all of these systems fall within ESF 8.
- Slide 7
- Capabilities and Measures Resources The presentation will be an
overview of the functions and tasks. There are no performance
measures linked with this capability. One can refer to the Budget
Period 2 performance measures for continued voluntary measurement.
The BP3 Performance Measures Specifications and Implementation
Guidance and BP2 past measures can be found at the following link:

capabilities

- Function 1: Identify and Monitor Health System Needs Tasks:
What things can health departments do to be aware of the ESF 8
(public health, medical, behavioral health) needs? 1.In
collaboration with jurisdictional partners, document short-term and
long-term health service delivery priorities and goals. 2.Identify
the services that can be provided by the public health agency and
by community and faith-based partners that were identified before
the incident as well as by new community partners that may arise
during the incident response. 3.Activate plans previously created
with neighboring jurisdictions to provide identified services that
the jurisdiction does not have the ability to provide during and
after an incident. 4.In conjunction with healthcare organizations
(e.g., healthcare facilities and public and private community
providers) and based upon recovery operations, determine the
communitys health service priorities and goals that are the
responsibility of public health.
- Slide 9
- Task Elements There are elements that health departments should
keep in mind to address different aspects of the tasks: Partner
collaboration to identify recovery needs Community assessment and
follow-up monitoring after an incident Continuity of operations
plan Pre-defined statements to address questions and concerns in an
emergency Recovery strategies for the repair or rebuilding of
public health services Procedures to guide the provision of health,
medical, and mental/behavioral care Identification of legal
authorities to permit non-jurisdictional clinicians to be
credentialed Identification of community sectors that can provide
support to the recovery effort
- Slide 10
- Function 2: Coordinate ESF 8 Operations Tasks: What things can
health departments do to effectively coordinate operations? 1.
Participate with the recovery lead jurisdictional agencies (e.g.,
emergency management and social service) to ensure that the
jurisdiction can provide health services needed to recover from a
physical or mental/behavioral injury, illness, or exposure
sustained as a result of the incident, with particular attention to
the functional needs of at-risk persons 2.In conjunction with
partners, inform the community of the availability of
mental/behavioral, psychological first aid, and medical services
within the community, with particular attention to how these
services affect the functional needs of at-risk persons (including
but not limited to children, elderly, their care givers, the
disabled, or individuals with limited economic resources) 3.Notify
the community via community partners of the health agencys plans
for restoration of impacted public health, medical, and
mental/behavioral health services. Tasks continued on next

- Function 2: Coordinate ESF 8 Operations Tasks Contd: What
things can health departments do to effectively coordinate
operations? 4.Solicit community input via community partners
regarding health service recovery needs during and after the acute
phase of the incident. 5. Partner with public health, medical, and
mental/behavioral health professionals and other social networks
(e.g., faith-based, volunteer organizations, support groups, and
professional organizations) from within and outside the
jurisdiction, to educate their population regarding health
interventions being recommended by public health. 6. In conjunction
with partners, inform the community of the availability of any
disaster or community case management services being offered that
provide assistance for community members impacted by the
incident.
- Slide 12
- Task Elements There are elements that health departments should
keep in mind to address different aspects of the tasks:
Incorporation of mental/behavioral health training into MRC and
volunteer training programs
- Slide 13
- Function 3: Improve actions to lessen the impact of future
incidents Tasks: What things can health departments do to improve?
1.In conjunction with partners, conduct post-incident assessment
and planning for short and long-term recovery identifying
corrective actions that are within the control and scope of
jurisdictional public health, including the mitigation of damages
from future incidents. 2.Collaborate with sector leaders to
facilitate collection of community feedback to determine corrective
actions. 3.Implement corrective actions for items that are within
the scope or control of public health to affect short and long-term
recovery, including the mitigation of damages from future
incidents. 4.Facilitate and advocate for collaborations among
government agencies and community partners so that these agencies
can fulfill their roles in completing the corrective actions to
protect the health of the public.
