Regional Resilience & Recovery

A Regional Solution for Local Preparedness and Recovery

The Regional Resilience Collaborative helps local governments prepare for hazards, strengthen recovery capabilities and protect their communities. Centralina provides technical assistance, training and access to resources that help communities plan ahead and move projects forward.

The animated map illustrates the many overlapping hazard mitigation plans, recovery partnerships and service areas across the Centralina region. By working across these boundaries, the RRC offers a coordinated regional solution while responding to the individual needs of local governments.

Why It Matters

Preparedness begins long before a hazard occurs. Day to day planning, coordination and access to the right resources help local governments protect public assets, keep communities safe and recover more effectively when disruptions occur.

The RRC serves as a bridge for resilience across our region.

Hazard Mitigation Plans in the Centralina Region

Federal funds are commonly passed through state agencies in North Carolina before being awarded to local governments, which can make the original funding source less obvious. Before proceeding with a procurement, local governments should verify whether an award originates from a federal source. This determination affects compliance obligations, including procurement standards, reporting, and audit requirements.

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
