To coincide with National Preparedness Month, the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) has just launched the newly redesigned RestoreYourEconomy.org website. IEDC developed RestoreYourEconomy.org, with funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration, as a one-stop resource for economic development organizations and chambers of commerce seeking to assist businesses after a disaster, rebuild their local economy, and encourage resiliency among local businesses and government. The new RestoreYourEconomy.org features: • A new appearance, with enhanced functionality and improved navigation; • Videos featuring interviews of economic recovery practitioners as well as recordings of training sessions; • “Learn” section to download recent webinar recordings from IEDC’s 2012 webinar series; • Preparedness advice on action steps to take in advance of a disaster to become more resilient; • Recovery suggestions on how to deliver financial and technical assistance to impacted businesses, develop an economic recovery plan, and navigate federal assistance programs; • Resources, including publications with practical advice, news articles, links to valuable websites, and free training resources; • Case studies, featuring communities that have turned their local economies around and emerged strong and better prepared; • “Suggest a Resource” option to submit ideas for the site.
