Disaster Planning Workshop4

Lessons Learned from Previous Disasters

Incident Command Lessons Learned Scene managers must stay together Lack of commonality with management systems

Need standardized system to ensure that all responders are aware of how response will be managed

Need better education on IMS/ICS. Awareness training on these is a must

Leaders should act like leaders, not like responders Need to establish a multi-agency command center for

all agencies that are involved

Disaster Planning Workshop5

Lessons Learned (con’t)

Appointment of a scene safety officer is critical Strong incident management is critical Don’t lock into one management approach. Be

creative, stay flexible, if it works, use it Need representatives of all involved agencies at

regularly scheduled briefings to ensure that everyone knows what is going on

EOC/Command Center phone list critical Old type “thick” plans don’t work. Need short

checklist.
