Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to collaboratively develop long-term recovery planning for a specific disaster event. Such plans focus on the principles of disaster recovery.This unit applies to personnel who are responsible for the facilitation of long-term recovery planning of a specific disaster event at a local, district or regional level. Long-term recovery planning (as defined by the Australian Disaster Resilience Handbook Collection Community Recovery Handbook 2) is applied across the four recovery sectors, but not exclusive to the social, built, economic and natural environments. It includes establishing long-term recovery context and framework, developing agreed planning processes and methodology, researching and analysing long-term recovery planning issues, developing and documenting long-term recovery plan, planning for the transition from long-term recovery and reviewing the long-term recovery plan.This unit involves considerable engagement, communication and planning with numerous recovery stakeholders, within a time restricted environment. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
