Regional Recovery Organization This section outlines the and responsibilities of the UES Counties during regional recover efforts. Specifically, the Counties are expected to engage in coordination activities, and participate in information and resource sharing in support of recovery. During short-term recovery the primary activities and functions of local government during this phase will continue to be supported by a declaration of local emergency, which provides the legal basis for necessary emergency operations. A regional recovery organization may also be stood up to support the activities associated with regional recovery operations. The regional recovery organization will be stood up every time there is a disaster that impacts one or more Counties in the Upper Eastern Shore Region and a recovery effort is needed in order to continue facilitating information- and resource-sharing. The recovery organization will scale in accordance with the incident, as determined by the UES Directors of the Departments of Emergency Services or their designees. As appropriate, representatives from all appropriate levels of government, agencies involved in the recovery process, and private, voluntary, nonprofit, and faith-based partners will be present in the regional recovery organization. The organization and staffing of the regional recovery organization is described in the following sections. Organizational Structure The Upper Eastern Shore Regional Recovery Plan follows the Incident Command System (ICS) structure. Staffing for the recovery organization may come from the organizations with roles in recovery, including the UES Departments of Emergency Services, or other individuals and organizations designated or requested by the UES Directors of the Departments of Emergency Services. The following figure represents the flow of the organizational structure establishment process. 7: The following figure represents the organizational structure for the regional recovery organization. 8: Regional Recovery Organization Senior Leadership UES Directors of the Departments of Emergency Services In to support regional recovery efforts, each of the UES Directors of the Departments of Emergency Services will be responsible for meeting with their locally elected officials/administrations/commissioners to ensure coordination of and support for recovery efforts (e.g., including obtaining consensus for goals, objectives, and priorities for their County).

Additionally, it will be critical to consult and coordinate recovery
