The Red Guide to Recovery-Native Edition

The Red Guide to Recovery - Native Edition was created to assist disaster survivors in Tribal communities by making available a single source of pertinent, easy to read disaster recovery information that will walk them step-by-step through the recovery process while raising awareness of the many pitfalls that may present themselves in post-disaster scenarios. The Guide can be used for pre-disaster recovery training, business continuity or contingency planning, emergency management, and complement individual's disaster preparedness kits. If people understand what is involved in the recovery process before a disaster strikes, they will be far more resilient and better prepared.
