Step 1: Impact Assessment To develop an understanding of the impact COVID-19 has had on Orange County, Hagerty will first perform an Impact Assessment. This report can be structured to align to an existing structure that the County uses to assess its performance, such as: Community Lifelines (as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency); Recovery Support Functions; or the framework of the County’s Economic Development strategy. To develop the Impact Assessment, Hagerty will host an initial scoping call, to present the proposed outline of the assessment, review data needs with the County, and determine how best to engage County staff to fulfil data requests while minimizing disruptions. This call will last no more than two hours and be facilitated using remote conferencing technology (e.g. Zoom). The purpose of the Impact Assessment will be to determine how COVID-19 is specifically impacting Orange County across three key areas: the economy, health and social services delivery, and diverse communities. Our research will be informed by: » Pre-disaster information and datasets (e.g., Census B ureau, Economic Development Administration, Small Business Administration data); » Disaster-related information about impacts provided by the County and its partners (e.g. revenue loss estimates); and » Input from the Orange County Long-Term Recovery Group. A preliminary draft of the Impact Assessment will be provided to the County within six weeks of initiating the project. Once the draft report is complete, Hagerty will facilitate a meeting to validate the findings with County stakeholders and members of the Long-Term Recovery Group. This meeting will be facilitated remotely, and a portion of the meeting will be dedicated to gathering feedback or recommendations on potential activities to be included in the Long-Term Recovery Framework. The final draft assessment will be submitted in week ten. The Impact Assessment will help the County develop a more formal understanding of the effects of COVID- 19 that can help inform decision-making and resource prioritization. By identifying and describing the ways in which the County was most impacted by COVID-19, the assessment will form the basis for the County’s strategy for long-term recovery. Step 2: Recovery Framework The crux of this initiative is the development of a Long-Term Recovery Framework for the County. The framework will provide a series of recommendations intended to help the County navigate immediate challenges and mitigate endemic issues likely to be exacerbated by COVID-19. The County’s Recovery Framework will: » Describe specific activities to be completed, along with timelines for completion. » Identify lead and partner entities. » Identify funding sources that can be leveraged to execute each activity. » Provide broad guidelines and recommendations for long-term recovery based on Hagerty’s experience in other communities (e.g., guiding principles).
