Mitigation Strategy Report FEMA-1134-DR-NC State of North Carolina Division of Emergency Management Appendix D North Carolina Disaster Recovery Task Force Following Hurricane Fran, Governor James Hunt commissioned a task force to address the State's long-term redevelopment process. The scale of Fran's destruction necessitated the creation of a coordinated means to assist in this endeavor. According to Executive Order 104, the North Carolina Disaster Recovery Task Force (DRTF) will address six issues: 1 . The determination of needs and problems facing communities following Hurricane Fran, including the establishment of priorities for attention and investment; 2. An assessment of the costs associated with such an effort; 3. The identification of appropriate recovery funding sources from federal, state, and local organizations that allow the State to rebuild in a manner that reduces the impact of future natural disasters; 4. The coordination of agencies and organizations in a manner that helps to match all existing funding sources, thereby ensuring the best use of avaiiable resources; 5. The development of effective mitigation strategies; and, 6. The establishment of an effective means to monitor the overall recovery effort. The DRTF is comprised of twenty three members selected by the Governor. Seven issue-based subcommittees report directly to the DRTF. The subcommillees include: Housing; Coastal; Community Facilities: Human Services; Public Health and the Environment; Business Development and Employment; and Agriculture and Natural Resources. Each subcommittee will develop a long-term redevelopment report, including specific recommendations. Following a public comment period, the recommendations will be incorporated into the State's Long-Term Redevelopment Plan. Once the Plan is completed, FEMA, EM, the DRTF, and relevant State agencies will work together to implement those recommendations. Page 40
