Federal Plan for ELTRR

The Federal Plan for Equitable Long-Term Recovery and Resilience (ELTRR) is a resource for federal departments and agencies. The Plan recommends ways to increase strategic action and collaboration to strengthen the Seven Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being across communities nationwide — so all people and places can thrive. The Plan also creates opportunities for federal departments and agencies to advance their collaborations with non-governmental partners that are concurrently working to increase individual and community well-being and resilience.
