Exhibit A - Interim Recovery Strategy Disaster: Kilauea Volcanic Eruption and Earthquakes 2018 Report Date: August 2019 I. Purpose The purpose of this Interim Recovery Strategy is to provide focus around the County's ongoing efforts to coordinate recovery actions related to impacts of the 2018 Kilauea Eruption. The Interim Recovery Strategy has been crafted with input from public, private, nonprofit and community sectors; it will be superseded by a Comprehensive Recovery Plan anticipated by the end of 2019. To better support community resilience, this strategy focuses on establishing overarching goals and objectives, identifying partners, and building capacity so all sectors are working together and contributing toward shared goals. Key to stakeholder action is a collective impact framework that brings all sectors together in a structured way to achieve goals. This strategy is the first step in a forthcoming policy platform that will be the model for standing up the County's disaster response and recovery efforts related to future disasters, and is being crafted in a way to better align with federal support systems and processes. A consistent model will help to eliminate barriers and improve the County's ability to leverage federal dollars critical to building communities that are resilient, safer, and stronger. II. Interim Recovery Objectives and Strategies A. Recovery Support Function Framework The Interim Recovery Strategy is organized by Recovery Support Functions (RSF), as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) National Disaster Recovery Framework in order to improve access to resources, and better align and coordinate County, State, and Federal agencies, nongovernmental partners, and community stakeholders. By integrating RSF's into current and future post-disaster planning, the County will be able to facilitate a more flexible, context-based, and collaborative recovery process that is scalable and based on regional needs. The current RSF's include: Community Planning and Capacity Building, Economic Recovery, Health and Social Services, Housing, Infrastructure Systems, and Natural and Cultural Resources. A menu of goals, objectives and other considerations are organized within these RSF's. B. Goals and Objectives Resilience - the ability and capacity to survive, adapt, grow, and thrive no matter what kind of shocks or stresses hit - underlies the fabric of recovery planning, and factors into decisions and efforts to rebuild a strong, safe, and thriving Puna. Recovery is complex; it is a multi-faceted, years-long, community-wide commitment. The goals and objectives in Attachment A are being elevated to showcase the breadth of recovery needs - immediate, near-term and long range. Each will be reviewed during the development of the Comprehensive Recovery Plan, modified as appropriated, and prioritized based on a combination of regional plans and strategies, feasibility, and community sentiments. While a Comprehensive Recovery Plan is being developed to navigate long-term decisions and efforts, the goals and objectives in Attachment A are being lifted up yi.(i� ,xf' y .' 3 !iy intst2019 �E,.,.,,E € � Re,x,!�„i i .A 4.f Z�S � ��d � .3
