Plan, Prepare, Respond, and Recover
The Main Street Disaster and Resiliency Toolkit is organized into three sections. Each section provides small steps, incremental advice, and comprehensive guidance to help Main Streets plan, prepare, respond, and recover.
Plan
Part one helps local leaders assess important baseline information for your organizations and communities to avoid duplicating past disaster planning efforts and, most importantly, to find a disaster planning process that suits your Main Street’s current planning needs. Explore here >
Prepare
Part two provides steps you can take now to ensure your community will respond more effectively when a disaster occurs. This section also features activities and best practices on how to alleviate or mitigate future disaster damage and disruptions to Main Streets. Explore here >
Respond and Recover
Part three explores the tools and strategies that communities can utilize following a natural disaster. This includes guidance on how to navigate the recovery process and how to address critical, longer-term rebuilding needs, such as repairing damaged historic resources, restoring small businesses, and renewing social connections.
