CHAPTER FIVE: RECOVERY CONSIDERATIONS A. Recovery Operations Concept of Operations The County of Santa Clara, cities, and special districts serving the County will be involved in recovery operations. In the aftermath of a disaster, many citizens will have specific needs that must be met before they can pick up the thread of their pre-disaster lives. Typically, there will be a need for such services as the following: • assessment of the extent and severity of damages to homes and other property • restoration of services generally available in communities - water, food, and medical assistance • repair of damaged homes and property • professional counseling when the sudden changes resulting from the emergency have resulted in mental anguish and inability to cope The County will help individuals and families recover by ensuring that these services are available and by seeking additional resources if the community needs them. Phases of Recovery Recovery occurs in two phases: short-term and long-term. Short-term recovery operations will begin during the response phase of the emergency. The major objectives of short-term recovery operations include rapid debris removal and clean-up, and orderly and coordinated restoration of essential services (electricity, water, and sanitary systems). Short-term recovery operations will include all the agencies participating in the County’s disaster response. Structures that present public safety threats will be demolished and abated during short-term recovery operations. The goal of short-term recovery is to restore local government services to at least minimal capacity. Short-term recovery includes: • utility restoration • expanded social, medical and mental health services • re-establishment of County government operations • transportation route restoration • debris removal and clean-up operation • abatement and demolition of hazardous structures The major objectives of long-term recovery operations include: • coordinated delivery of long-term social and health services • improved land use planning • an improved County Emergency Operations Plan • re-establishing the local economy to pre-disaster levels • recovery of disaster response costs • effective integration of mitigation strategies into recovery planning and operations The County will coordinate with special districts and private utility companies on all efforts to restore utility systems and services during recovery operations. Medical services will continue in temporary facilities, as necessary. The County Mental Health Department will be requested Page 50 of 57
