The PATCH Guide was developed based on Linn County’s unique disaster recovery experience following the 2020 derecho. While this guide is intended to provide a replicable framework and practical lessons learned, communities should adapt the information to fit their own local laws, funding requirements, organizational structures, and disaster circumstances. LAP-AID does not guarantee specific outcomes and encourages communities to consult legal, financial, and disaster recovery professionals when implementing similar programs.
