2024 Hennepin County All -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Volume 2 — Hazard Inventory <br />4.3.8.14. Recovery <br />Like all disasters, recovery from drought can takes months to years to return to a state of normalcy. On <br />August 7, 2012, President Barack Obama called for an "all hands-on deck" approach to the drought at a <br />White House Rural Council meeting. At the same meeting, the President asked that the USDA take the <br />lead in coordinating the Federal effort to help with drought response and recovery. <br />To support this collaboration across multiple federal agencies, the concepts and organizing principles of <br />the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) were leveraged to promote a more integrated and <br />cohesive response to drought. Based on the input received in the Drought Recovery Regional Meetings, <br />the NDRF team identified "big bucket" issues to organize Federal resources identified across all applicable <br />departments and agencies. These included technical assistance, grant programs, loan programs, and <br />information resources. <br />TABLE 4.3.8B shows resources for short-term and long-term recovery. The short-term section provides <br />links to agencies providing relief resources and information. The long-term recovery section is geared <br />more toward information to aid in mitigation and adaptation, but long-term recovery resources are also <br />listed. <br />TABLE 4.3.8B Aaencv and Recovery Support <br />Agency <br />Short Term Recovery <br />• The Natural Resources Conservation <br />Long Term Recovery <br />• Crop Insurance <br />Service <br />• Risk Management Agency <br />• The Rural Development Program <br />• Natural Resource Protection/Private <br />• The Farm Service Agency <br />Lands <br />• Crop Production Losses <br />• Agricultural Water <br />U.S. Department of <br />• Disaster Assistance <br />Enhancement Program <br />Agriculture provides <br />financial and technical <br />Programs <br />• Emergency Watershed <br />assistance to drought <br />• Natural Resource Protection/Private <br />Protection - Floodplain <br />affected areas and <br />Lands <br />Easement <br />services <br />• Environmental Quality <br />• Watershed Protection and <br />Incentives Program <br />Flood Prevention <br />• Emergency Watershed <br />• Wetlands Reserve Program <br />Protection <br />• Conservation Technical <br />• Community Water and Wastewater <br />Assistance <br />• Community Water and Wastewater <br />• The Recovery Act <br />• DOI's Bureau of Reclamation <br />• The Drought Water Bank <br />administers the WaterSMART and <br />water and Energy Efficiency <br />Grants that aims to make more <br />efficient use of existing water <br />supplies through water conservation, <br />Us Department of <br />efficiency, and water marketing <br />Interior <br />projects.
