ESD stressed goals of speed and flexibility in the design and implementation of recovery programs. ESD's existing infrastructure of data, information systems and business relationships also played a critical role. Prior to September 11, relatively little attention had been paid to the resources needed for economic and business, as distinct from physical or environmental, recovery from a large-scale disaster. As a result, the federal funding programs tapped to support economic recovery were often a poor fit for the task.

The report recommends that federal laws and policies be reviewed and revised to address the economic recovery needs of a large-scale disaster. The report was prepared by Mt. Auburn Associates and funded by the U.S. Economic Development Administration. Mt. Auburn was asked to provide a history of ESD's response to the disaster and to make recommendations at the policy/program design and implementation level.
