The blueprint consists of an analysis of the region post-pandemic for planning purposes and includes the development of a recovery campaign to proactively provide citizens with information about the recovery strategies and available resources within the region to rebuild. The campaign includes a dedicated microsite with a campaign domain name, fact sheets about the recovery, a press release to announce the campaign and a bank of social media posts to engage the community and partners in the rebuilding efforts.
