The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released the third edition of the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) this week. The revised framework includes feedback and recommendations from the public during a 30-day public comment period that ended in October 2024. The NDRF streamlines and clarifies the federal government’s approach to providing disaster recovery resources and support to disaster-impacted communities. It is one of five national planning frameworks for each of the five preparedness mission areas within the National Preparedness System – prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery.

Key revisions include:

• Clarifying roles and responsibilities.
• Detailing the Federal Recovery Support Function structure and its role in supporting local recovery goals.
• Enhancing collaboration across the whole community.
• Providing practical resources to assist in recovery planning efforts.

FEMA encourages states, local governments, Tribal Nations and territories, as well as nonprofits and the emergency management community, to view and use the NDRF as a model to guide and inform their own disaster recovery planning and policymaking. The NDRF is valuable for recovery practitioners at all levels, ranging from full time professionals in state and county emergency management to individuals across the whole recovery community.
