Capability Assessment for Readiness (CAR)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA) collaborated to create an effective readiness and capability assessment system geared towards state and local emergency managers. This collaborative effort materialized as the Capability Assessment for Readiness (CAR). All Hands consultants developed this comprehensive process and tool, thereby offering their expertise through the "Capability Assessment for Readiness (CAR)" service, which aims to evaluate the operational capabilities of local government entities.
What sets this system apart is its distinctive focus on pinpointing deficiencies and serving as a foundation for corrective actions required to fortify local government emergency management programs. Unlike many other assessment systems, CAR is strategically designed to not only identify shortcomings but also to provide a basis for implementing corrective measures. The assessment results derived from this service are invaluable for local governments, aiding them in establishing priorities and conducting a detailed analysis of program performance. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance the overall quality of local government emergency management programs by addressing identified weaknesses and fostering continuous improvement.
Unlike many systems, it is designed to focus on the identification of deficiencies or a basis for corrective actions that need to be taken in order to strengthen local government emergency management programs.

“Recovery and Reconstruction” refers to actions taken by communities, businesses, and disaster victims, which enable them to begin the process of rebuilding their homes; replacing property; resuming employment; restoring their businesses; repairing, rebuilding, or relocating public infrastructure; and mitigating future disaster losses.
A “Disaster Recovery Plan” is designed to identify those actions that local agencies must take to support themselves, other agencies, and the public to coordinate emergency recovery activities at the conclusion of the response activities. The plan should provide emergency management personnel and others with operational guidance in order to effectively manage recovery activities in the aftermath of a disaster.
