Led by Community Futures Greater Trail, in close collaboration with the LCIC, and the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce, the ERAP provides guidance for the roles and activities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from economic disruption. Members from all three organizations and the RDKB currently form the ERAP Executive Committee. The COVID-19 pandemic is an excellent demonstration of how important it is to have a plan in place to mitigate the effects of and support recovery from a major economic disruption. The ERAP is meant to cover many kinds of disasters including natural, technological, pandemics, recessions, etc.
