In February 2024\, the effort began again\, specifically focused on improving the following five issue areas that partners have identified as important areas for updating – recovery scope\, roles and responsibilities\, capacity and resources\, planning\, and data metrics. \nTribal Nations can submit their comments and any questions via email with the subject line “NDRF – Written Comments” to fema-tribal@fema.dhs.gov.
