Short-Term Recovery

Competencies Addressed in This Discussion

• Competency 2: Analyze emergency management principles in a community impact context.
• Competency 3: Articulate appropriate emergency management responses to critical incidents.

To complete this discussion, view the Incident Recovery simulation from this unit’s studies. This simulation deals with the short-term recovery after the incident at the stadium and surrounding area.For your main post, based on the simulation involving short-term recovery of the stadium and surrounding area:

• Describe what the emergency planners should have done to ensure continuity of operations in the event of a catastrophe such as the one depicted in the simulation.
• Develop an alternate plan.
  • What specifically would you do to ensure continuity of operations in the event of a catastrophe such as this one?
  • How would you ensure the transfer of command, redundant systems, and secondary facilities?
• Compare the effects of a short-term recovery at the local venue you identified in the Unit 6 discussion, Evacuate or Shelter in Place?, and the surrounding area in your community.
  • What would the key issues of a short-term recovery in your area be? Identify at least three issues.
  • Apply the ICS principles to your issues in this discussion.
