Before the Incident Planning and Preparedness cont. Identify who is ultimately in command of the incident – avoid the confusion in advance Identify the roles and responsibilities in those plans – what do they do? What support can they bring? Develop a quick check list of things that need to be done – hard to remember everything in the middle of chaos

After the Incident The transition from response to recovery is key and the toughest When does the planning for recovery start? – as soon as the incident has occurred Who is responsible for the planning for recovery?
