Disasters strike anytime, anywhere.
Disasters build over days or weeks, or hit suddenly, without warning.
The State of Minnesota Recovery task Force has developed a practical handbook for communities to use as a tool for development of a long-term recovery plan. The handbook can be used to assist with the planning after an event has occurred, but preferably it should be used prior to a disaster. The handbook contains guidance and practical tools for any community to adapt. Minnesota is the only state that has developed such an extensive document. The handbook is applicable to any community, not just those in Minnesota.
