5.5 National Disaster Recovery Framework
(NDRF)
The National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) is a
companion document to the National Response Framework
(NRF). It is a new framework – focusing on non-Stafford Act
resources – to coordinate, optimize and expedite recovery
resources to your community. The NRF primarily addresses
the coordination of actions during the response phase of a
disaster. The NDRF focuses on the coordination of actions
necessary to accomplish longer-term recovery.
Opportunity in recovery
The NDRF recognizes that there is opportunity following
disasters for building back safer, stronger, smarter so that
communities are better prepared to face the next disaster.
Across the recovery continuum, the NDRF focuses on
assisting local communities in developing plans and identifying resources to restore, redevelop
and revitalize the health, social, economic, natural and environmental fabric of the community
and build a more resilient Nation.
The NDRF defines how Federal agencies can more effectively organize and operate to best
utilize existing resources to promote effective recoveries. It identifies new coordinating
structures – Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) – for the delivery of Federal and non-Federal
recovery resources to State, Tribal and local jurisdictions.
coordinATE + leveragE + match
The NDRF coordinates and leverages existing resources – matching the most appropriate
with recovery needs – to accomplish a single vision for an efficient and successful recovery
across Federal, State, local and Tribal governments with the cooperation and participation of
individuals, Federal, State, private industry and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
