Create a national disaster recovery framework that identifies how the federal government will work across federal agencies and in cooperation with state and local government as well as the nonprofit and private sector. We have a National Response Framework but there is no national framework for long-term recovery and rebuilding. Ideas to develop such a framework are in the initial stages at FEMA/DHS.
This idea was developed by Federal managers at a conference on March 30-31, called Champions of Participation, which was convened by AmericaSpeaks, Demos, Everyday Democracy and Harvard University's Ash Institute. For more information, visit www.americaspeaks.org/champions

Convene a national network of community-based policy dialogues on climate readiness and resilient communities. Climate change is challenging our assumptions about natural and man-made infrastructure. Local strategies for adapting to and addressing climate change impacts are needed. A concurrent national dialogue consisting of local and regional community-based discussions addressing climate readiness culminating in a national event in Washington DC would provide important insight and feedback into national policy development.

Convene a discussion on alternatives for the storage and disposal of spent reactor fuel. With the storage disposal mechanism at Yucca Mountain off the table and a desire to use nuclear power to reduce carbon use, there is an opportunity to demonstrate the value of public participation and collaboration.

Most of the Federal government is actually not based in Washington, DC. Approximately 88 percent of all Federal employees work outside the National Capital Region. Federal programs have their impact largely through the actions of the field representatives of the departments and agencies. The Federal Executive Boards are a forum for communication and collaboration among Federal agencies outside of Washington, DC.
The President should require all FEB's to submit a plan with 180 days for how they will advance the goals of the Open Government Directive through collaborative regional projects.
