Strong economic recovery doesn’t happen by accident — it requires planning, coordination, and clear guidance. To support communities across British Columbia, DisasterSmartBC has developed two tailored frameworks that outline the roles, partnerships, and actions needed to prepare for and respond to economic disruption after a disaster.

These frameworks provide step-by-step guidance for:

  • Local and regional governments
  • Indigenous communities

Each framework includes practical recommendations for pre-disaster planning, cross-sector collaboration, recovery coordination, and rebuilding resilient local economies.
