Creating a disaster recovery guide for planners

To better support planners, APA and the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center at Texas A&M University partnered on phase one of a project to develop a tactical disaster recovery guide. The phase one findings were recently released — learn what planners need to know about disaster recovery and how APA is working to better support them in these efforts. |
