SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Disaster Housing Strategy
(NDHS), serves as a guide to how the Nation currently provides housing
after a disaster, and sets a course for improving the methods in which
we can provide housing to meet the emergent needs of disaster victims
and communities. As requested by Congress in Section 683 of the Post-
Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006, Public Law 109-295,
the NDHS is intended to begin a long-term effort to build on current
strengths and encourage all involved to work collaboratively and seek
innovative housing solutions. It intends to establish a strong
foundation based on clear roles and responsibilities, key principles to
guide national efforts, a joint planning process to build baseline
capabilities, and additional resources to better prepare for an
impending or emergent event.
The NDHS promotes a national housing effort that engages all levels
of government and the private sector to collectively meet the urgent
housing needs of disaster victims and to enable individuals, households
and communities to rebuild and restore their way of life following a
disaster. A key concept introduced in the NDHS is the National Disaster
Housing Task Force to bring together experts and policymakers whose
efforts would be dedicated exclusively to the disaster housing issue.
The NDHS draws on best practices and lessons learned over the years to
identify actions that can be taken to improve disaster housing
assistance. This effort began with realigning roles and
responsibilities, renewing our focus on planning, building baseline
capabilities, and providing a broader range of flexible disaster
housing options. The NDHS outlines a vision, supported by specific
goals, that will point the Nation in a new direction to meet the
disaster housing needs of individuals and communities going forward.
FEMA solicits comments on the draft NDHS which is available in Docket
ID FEMA-2008-0009 at http://www.regulations.gov.
Although it is not currently open for comment, FEMA has also
provided a copy of the 2008 Disaster Housing Plan (Housing Plan) in the
docket to aid the public in its review of the NDHS. The Housing Plan
describes FEMA's approach to working with Federal partners, States,
territories, local communities, and individual disaster victims to meet
disaster housing needs during the 2008 hurricane season. Key concepts
in the Housing Plan are further defined in the NDHS.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207; 6 U.S.C. 772.
