NDRA Recovery Arrangement

Decent Essays
The main strategy that is used by the Queensland Government to help provide assistance to communities affected by disaster events is the Commonwealth/State Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA). NDRRA events are currently managed within the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QldRA). These longstanding arrangements provide a cost sharing formula (between the Queensland and Commonwealth Government) as well as a range of pre-agreed relief measures which may be activated by the Queensland Government immediately following a disaster event, once a need has been established.

    A noticeably strong proposed solution is to focus on preparing the citizens of disaster prone areas with the knowledgeability of how to reconstruct after a disaster as well as how to better prepare for the chance of a catastrophe striking. This would be directed through the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategy, informing those living in areas of risk what they could be exposed to, as well as how to handle the disasters they are threatened by if they were to occur (USAID 6). Another possible solution would be to continue to rely on federal funds for relief, supporting the funds through increasing taxes on all US citizens including those not located within disaster prone areas (Mayer 7). A third solution would be to initiate the Five Principles of Reform which shares the responsibility of recovery between the state and the federal government as well as raises the qualifying standards a disaster must meet before being admitted federal aid. States must be partially responsible for providing aid following catastrophic events in order to effectively respond to natural…
