Recovery
The Recovery Bureau works to maximize disaster assistance to eligible public entities, individuals, and families through various State and Federal disaster assistance programs. These programs help to rebuild lives and communities that have been impacted by a major disaster, and begin the recovery process. After being requested by the Governor, the President may sign a disaster declaration that includes both Individual and Public Assistance programs as authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
The Recovery Bureau is responsible for a variety of programs to facilitate recovery when a disaster occurs. This includes the Fire Management Assistance Grant Program (FMAGP), Individual Assistance (IA) Program, and Public Assistance (PA) Grant Program. For more information on these programs, visit the Recovery Programs Page.

The FEMA Recovery Resource Library is a comprehensive tool that offers a wide range of resources to support disaster recovery at every level, from government agencies and nonprofit organizations to households and individuals. It enables users to identify and explore federal recovery resources that can aid both in pre-disaster planning and in post-disaster response and recovery efforts.
FEMA conducts Environmental Assessments for major concerns such as erosion and threat to infrastructure and coastlines after major disasters. These environmental assessments focus on the environments in which the projects are occurring, potential environmental consequences, and the alternatives available to address impacts.
F-ROC is a new initiative, sponsored by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), that standardizes, streamlines, and simplifies the Public Assistance process. This will result in a quicker recovery and reduced risk for Applicants.
