10. Private Sector Responsibilities Plan for the protection of their facilities, infrastructure, and personnel Plan for, responding to and recovering from incidents that impact their own facilities and structures Work with emergency management personnel before an emergency occurs to ascertain what assistance may be necessary and how they can help Coordinate the response

14. What Comes First Develop the plan Implement ICS

15. Primary Incident Command System Functions

16. ICS is Flexible

19. Duties of the Safety Officer Monitors incident operations Advises the IC on all matters of incident safety, including safety and health of response personnel Develops and recommends measures to assure personnel safety and health Training Reviews and approves the medical plan

21. PLANNING SECTION Maintain resource status Maintain situation status Prepare Incident Action Plan Provide documentation service Prepare Demobilization Plan Provide technical specialist

22. Developing A Plan Understand the situation (assessment) Clarify issues and concerns Establish objectives Desired outcome Determine strategy What�s needed to achieve the desired outcome Determine tactics (with what, where, when, who, how) Resource needs

25. Objectives Determined by Incident Command Become the basis for all incident activities Attainable Measurable Flexible Prioritized What do you think is the # 1 Objective

26. Preparedness Cycle

27. Evaluating the Plan Are objectives being met Are resources adequate Are there new objectives What changes are needed After action report What went well (include any best practices) What needs improvement (include lessons learned) Action items

28. Why Plans Fail Did not fully assess the situation Conduct a hazard vulnerability analysis Planning assumptions and contingencies Planning was not developed from an incident management prospective Did not consider objectives Strategy, tactics and resources Did not follow the preparedness cycle (planning is a process)

29. Why Plans Fail Did not cover the life cycle of an incident (including demobilization) Communications Failure to coordinate with other organizations Plan is too complex
