| Strategy | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 4.1 Identify and designate earthquake resistant short- and long-term shelters. | Identify suitable, earthquake resistant short- and long-term shelters and coordinate agreements for their use. | Earthquake resistant short- and long-term sheltering facilities will be available following a major disaster. |
| 4.2 Develop contingency plans for the location, design and construction of long-term temporary housing. | Plan for the construction of long-term temporary housing. | Long-term temporary housing will be available for victims displaced by a major earthquake. |
| 4.3 Promote funding and training of post-earthquake building inspection volunteers. | Continue to train volunteers throughout the State of Missouri to make rapid visual examinations of buildings. | By using a system already in place for training, certifying and mobilizing volunteers, structures that are safe for occupancy can be rapidly identified after an earthquake or other disaster. This will permit housing and jobs to be quickly restored. |
| 4.4 Enhance the ability of individuals and small businesses to recover from an earthquake disaster. | Enable entrepreneurs and small businesses to recover from an earthquake and to access funding at the Federal and State levels in a timely manner so that economic recovery progresses. | The adverse economic impact of an earthquake will be reduced in the affected area. |
| 4.5 Enhance emergency management and coordination between the Federal, State, and local agencies. | Develop a coordinated emergency management system to provide rapid and systematic response following a seismic event. | Emergency response capability will be enhanced by coordinated responses to local requests for assistance in the immediate post-earthquake phase of events. |
| 4.6 Encourage further development of a central State group to accept relief donations and coordinate distribution. | Develop a State Donations Management Plan through the Governor's Disaster Recovery Program. | A State Donations Management Plan will ensure coordination and allow efficient and timely distribution of gifts-in-kind. |
| 4.7 Support identification of facilities and methods for disposal of uncontaminated debris and hazardous materials from collapsed structures. | Prepare a plan for disposal of hazardous materials, contaminated and uncontaminated debris. | Coordination will result in improved and efficient, coordinated disposal of hazardous materials and uncontaminated debris. |
| 4.8 Enhance ability to provide crisis counseling to individuals in affected areas. | Develop a network of trained counselors who will respond to and provide counseling to residents in affected areas. | Residents, particularly children, will be able to understand and cope with the emotional trauma following an earthquake. |
