                           Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Plan 2015/2016


PART C – Recovery Activities
21.    Introduction
This section of the plan provides guidance to the Noosa LDRC and the sub-groups on ‘how
to’ conduct recovery operations. It draws from material provided in the Australian
Emergency Management Australia – Community Recovery Handbook 2 which offers current
best practice guidance on recovery.

This part is divided into four sections each aimed at one of the four pillars of recovery. This
part should be used by the sub-groups to assist them in undertaking their function.

It should be noted that recovery is essentially a creative endeavour aimed at addressing and
resolving problems and issues to achieve defined objectives. Each disaster is essentially
different and the recovery activities undertaken for each disaster event will often be unique
to that event. This part is provided to guide the LDRC and sub-groups by providing typical
methodologies and considerations for recovery. It is not exhaustive and the LDRC and sub-
groups must recognise that a range of methodologies and considerations may be applicable
to any particular event.


22.    Recovery project cycle
The LDRC and sub-groups should strive to manage recovery operations using the recovery
project cycle. Figure 9 depicts this cycle.

23.    Human/social recovery
Human/social recovery activities often begin spontaneously within a community and it is the
role of the Human/Social Recovery Sub-group to provide structure and resources to support,
integrate and coordinate these spontaneous efforts.
