Standard Guide for Community Resilience Planning for Buildings and Infrastructure

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This guide is intended for use by communities, which may include towns, incorporated cities, counties, or similar entities with the authority to convene and implement resilience planning. The process described in this guide may have applications to a broader set of users, such as those described in Guide E3032.

5.2 This guide is intended to be applied at a community or regional geographical and administrative scale. Smaller geographic and administrative scales, such as neighborhood scales, may also use this guide; however, there may be limitations in the range of solutions (see Step 4B) that are available due to statutory, regulatory, financial, or administrative constraints caused by limitations in governance bodies.

5.3 This guide provides an analytical framework for establishing desired versus current anticipated performance in terms of time to recovery of function for clusters and infrastructure systems. The output of this analytical framework provides an objective basis for establishing priorities among proposed strategies and solutions to help meet community resilience goals.

5.4 The planning and analytical process can be applied to any hazard, though the focus is on natural hazards. Steps 1 and 2 (form a collaborative planning team and understand the situation) do not require the use of hazard information and provide useful information for communities that can be incorporated into a resilience plan. The activities described in Steps 3 and 4 (determine goals and objectives, and develop the plan) require technical information about hazards and an assessment of their impact on community systems.

5.5 This guide provides a planning process that emphasizes disaster recovery outcomes. However, all phases of preparedness, including prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery, are important to the successful achievement of disaster recovery objectives. The analytical outputs of this guide should inform all phases of preparedness and provide an objective approach to prioritize pre-event mitigation action.

5.6 The steps of this guide, presented in Section 6, are best initiated in the order provided. However, with the exception of the formation of a collaborative planning team in Step 1 and implementation and reporting Steps 5 and 6, it is feasible to complete Steps 2 to 4 in a non-consecutive order. Depending on a community’s specific needs, timeline, resources, or technical capabilities, Steps 2 to 4 may occur in a different order than described in this guide. In Section 6, supplemental information that elaborates on how to implement each step and collaborative planning team flexibilities is provided in a discussion note following each step.

Note 1: The collaborative planning team provides the foundation for stakeholder engagement and input in subsequent steps, even if later steps are completed in a different order than what is described in this guide. Ideally, each step should be at least initiated to describe how the plan will eventually address all elements of resilience planning.

5.7  Resilience plans developed with the support of this guide should be compatible with, inform, and augment other hazard mitigation planning and comprehensive planning processes. It is compatible with the National Preparedness Goal, the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, and the National Disaster Recovery Framework, and should inform and be consistent with other state and local plans and priorities. In practice, this includes general plans, capital improvement programs, hazard mitigation, emergency response, recovery, economic development, and transportation plans.
