Contributing factors that may be considered when making these actions include:

providing crisis counseling for the affected individuals and businesses
providing critical incident stress management (CISM) for responders
reviewing the documented information taken from the onset of the community emergency event (this is necessary, especially if the community is seeking reimbursement funds from the causing factor(s) of the event in the first place)
developing a community-wide recovery action plan with short- and long-term activities. The municipality’s EOP should be used as a guideline for returning the community back to normal operations.
