c. A resumption of normal business processes and the execution of continuity plans will occur gradually over a period relative to the incident. It’s imperative that individual departments routinely assess the efficacy of continuity plans and the accuracy of tasks defined within those plans. 3. Recovery a. Recovery is the process of re-establishing a state of normalcy to the university community. Specific approaches to recovery will be determined by the location, type, magnitude, and effects of the incident. Realistically, recovery occurs in two phases; short- term and long-term recovery. 4. Short-Term Recovery a. Short-term recovery operations begin concurrently with or shortly after the initiation of response operations. Short-term recovery may typically last from days to weeks. Short-term recovery includes actions required to: (1) Stabilize the situation (2) Restore services (3) Implement critical infrastructure recovery plans to maintain operations during emergencies and recovery phase. (4) Begin planning for the restoration of the University. 5. Long-Term Recovery a. Long-term recovery continues the short-term recovery actions, but focuses on community restoration. Long-term recovery may continue for a number of months or years depending on the severity and extent of the damage sustained. b. Long-term recovery activities require significant planning to maximize opportunities and mitigate vulnerabilities after a major incident and may include the following: (1) Reconstruction of facilities and infrastructure, including the technology systems and services necessary for restoration of all operational functions. (2) University planning, including the development of long-term alternative housing. (3) Seeking legal waivers, zoning changes, and other land-use legislation or assistance to promote recovery and mitigation at the University. (4) Integration of mitigation strategies into recovery efforts. (5) Restoration of normal University processes and businesses operations. (6) Documentation of eligible disaster-related costs for reimbursement through federal grant programs and University insurance providers. c. Stakeholders in the recovery phase will coordinate recovery activities, develop strategies, and implement specific recovery plans that address the needs of long-term sustainability and disaster resilience. d. Specific recovery plans will assign specific roles and responsibilities, describe tactics, and describe the overall concept or framework. There will exist both University-wide and departmental plans which all will be coordinated
and unified under a recovery framework developed by stakeholders and University leadership. e. Recovery plan content at the departmental level may include these items for consideration: (1) Business continuity/resumption processes (2) Damage assessments (3) Demolitions
(4) Debris removal and storage (5) Expedited repair permitting (6) Fiscal management (document accounting, expenditures and losses) (7) Hazards evaluation (8) Hazard mitigation opportunities (9) Historical buildings (10) Land use (11) Non-conforming buildings and uses (12) Moratorium procedures (13) Rebuilding plans
