Recovery takes time.
This space provides ongoing updates on the key initiatives outlined in the Recovery Framework and Plans and tracks the Town’s progress as recovery efforts advance.
Recovery Phases
Guided by the principles and recovery priorities, the Town is committed to recovery across the four different phases. Each phase, while distinct, is interdependent. The Town will collaborate and coordinate with multiple partners and
agencies to support residents and over community recovery.
Recovery Vision and Guiding Principles
Vision
A resilient, inclusive, and thriving community, where recovery not only rebuilds what was lost but also creates new opportunities to strengthen quality of life, social connection, and the local economy. Recovery efforts foster trust, transparency, and engagement, ensuring that all residents—alongside the partners the Town works with—are heard, included, and supported. The community will emerge safe, secure, and resilient, with a sustainable future that honors its rural identity, embraces innovation, and builds forward together.
