Long Term Recovery Quick Reference Guide
Long term recovery is the period following a disaster when the effected community and its residents return to a new normal state of living. A long term recovery program is usually established by the community, often with outside assistance, in order to help its most vulnerable residents through the recovery process. This Long Term Recovery Quick Reference Guide serves as a companion to the more extensive Long Term Recovery Guide (LTRG).
