2024 Hennepin County All -Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />Volume 2 — Hazard Inventory <br />4.3.2.14. Response <br />Hennepin County Emergency Management Capabilities <br />• Situation monitoring Station (SMS) <br />• HCEM Immediate Impact Reconnaissance Teams <br />• Mutual Aid <br />4.3.2.15. Recovery <br />There are two types of recovery, short term, and long term. Initial short-term recovery can be getting the <br />power back on or cleaning up debris. There are many things to consider when talking about long-term <br />recovery. Depending on the extend of the tornado and location, large, wooded areas can pose a fire <br />threat, so damaged trees and branches need to be managed. Another important consideration is business <br />recovery. It tookJoplin 3 years to be able to re -build their hospital and high school. Other businesses have <br />been shown the struggle for one or more years after a disaster. Another consideration of recovery is the <br />mental recovery of not only victims, but of the rescue workers that responded and helped during the <br />initial short-term recovery process. <br />4.3.2.16.
