Task 5: Develop Draft Strategies

Steps in Task 5

  1. Summarize issues
  2. Develop draft strategies

Task 5 involves summarizing issues from the first session, and developing draft strategies for post-disaster recovery. The organizing team needs to review all the issues identified by the participants in the first session, whether they are high priorities or not. After that, the organizing team also needs to brainstorm and develop strategies for dealing with the issues. In previous examples of post-disaster planning forums, experts found that participants have difficulty making the switch from identifying problems to figuring out strategies to solve the problem. As a result, having the organizing team develop one or multiple manageable strategies per issue is crucial. Each strategy should include: (1) a simple, easily remembered name for the proposed recovery strategy; (2) the theme addressed (population, economic, land use and development, etc.) by that strategy; (3) the rationale for the strategy; (4) ideas for implementing the strategy; and (5) plans for coordinating the organization, partners, and timeline for the strategy.
