Deyle on how local governments can prepare, before disaster strikes, for long-term recovery and rebuilding afterward. It sets out the planning process with practical guidelines and case studies, including the 1991 wildfires in Oakland, California, and the Florida panhandle after Hurricane Opal in 1995. One chapter covers policies for a post-disaster recovery plan: drafting a vision statement, coordination between agencies and levels of government, faster review and permitting for repairs, and building a local economy that can better withstand future disasters. A planner's tool kit covers practical measures such as density controls in hazard areas, retrofit incentives, building-code enforcement and development moratoriums. Illustrated with maps, with a bibliography. Seller Inventory # 230338-shelf-43-019
