Combined Effort for Recovery

Once activated and organized, RSF members coordinate closely with relevant State, Tribal, or Territorial partners, as well as the private sector and affected communities.

This coordination expedites recovery by:

  • Establishing common objectives for integrated effort
  • Improving awareness of recovery issues and challenges (sharing information about known issues across agency relationship networks)
  • Reducing duplication of effort (information sharing of agency activities)
  • Helping authorities apply existing programs and resources toward addressing recovery needs
