» Aim to promote equitable outcomes for residents across the County. The County may need to prioritize stakeholder-identified activities to ensure that the Recovery Framework remains functional and is manageable to implement. To support this outcome, Hagerty can help the County develop a formula for prioritizing recovery activities that is intended to increase the transparency and objectivity of prioritizing finite resources (e.g. funding, personnel, time). Hagerty can help develop an objective, decision-making approach that incorporates up to ten criteria to determine which activities are of the highest priority to the County based on stakeholder input. A preliminary outline of the Recovery Framework will be developed and presented in week eight of the project. At that point, Hagerty will facilitate a remote meeting lasting no more than two hours, to present the framework outline to stakeholders and solicit their feedback. Feedback will be adjudicated and incorporated into the outline so that Hagerty can continue building out the draft plan. Hagerty will present three iterations of the document over the duration of the engagement (a period of roughly four months). The first draft will represent a 50% solution, the second 75%, and the third document will be complete product. Based on Hagerty’s preliminary understanding of the County’s needs and priorities, the Framework could be organized into the following categories: » Guiding Principles for Recovery; » Preservation of the Economy; » Restoration of the Healthcare Sector; and » Building Capacity for Recovery. Concepts and approaches that promote social equity will be embedded in each of these sections, rather than being organized under a single section of the document. Additionally, Hagerty will work closely with the Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Orange County governments to maintain awareness of the 2020 North Carolina Governmental Alliance for Racial Equity (GARE) Cohort’s efforts to identify and reverse policies contributing to systemic racism. The value of this coordination would be: » Enhancing the planning team’s understanding of preexisting endemic issues in Orange County that are likely to be exacerbated as a result of COVID-19. » Using lessons from the GARE to mitigate adverse impacts to people of color through the activities described in the Recovery Framework. » Coordinating with the GARE, to the extent possible, to provide feedback or recommendations on the Recovery Framework to prevent conflict or discrepancies between parallel efforts. Committed to social equity in all work we do, Hagerty is excited about the opportunity to partner with Orange County to further promote these outcomes. Some examples of our previous efforts to promote social equity include: » Building a regional and local model of disaster recovery for the Portland Metropolitan Region that was centered around the concept of social equity, so that it is represented in considerations for multiple levels of government and for each of the region's Recovery Support Functions.
