  • Recovery Planning

    Competencies Addressed in This Assignment

    • Competency 2: Explain the role of emergency planning within the emergency management field.
    • Competency 3: Specify evaluation techniques for emergency management response effectiveness.
    • Competency 4: Correlate appropriate emergency management response to hazards and threats.
    • Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.

    Introduction

    In conjunction with planning for preparedness and the mitigation and response phases of emergency management, planning for recovery is the phase of emergency planning that is the focus of all stakeholders and the phase that demands the most effective implementation. This assignment will help you to understand the importance of planning for recovery, the importance of communicating the recovery plan to all stakeholders, and what recovery measures will be most applicable—or in need of adjustment—for potential hazards and disasters.
    You will continue using the Riverbend City train derailment scenario as a foundation and context for the assignment. For this assignment on recovery planning, view the Severe Incident Recovery media piece. In this simulation you are seeing official responses concerning just how the community is going to recover from the derailment and chemical spill. You will also view the National Response Framework media piece to support your assignment.
    The National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) is guided by nine core principles that, when put into practice, maximize the opportunity for achieving recovery success. Core principles for recovery planning are:

    1. Individual and family empowerment.
    2. Leadership and local primacy.
    3. Pre-disaster recovery planning.
    4. Partnerships and inclusiveness.
    5. Public information.
    6. Unity of effort.
    7. Timeliness and flexibility.
    8. Resilience and sustainability.
    9. Psychological and emotional recovery.

    Instructions

    In this assignment you are addressing how to create a plan for the recovery phase.
    Put yourself in the role of an emergency manager who is doing initial work on recovery plans for the type of critical incident shown in the Riverbend City scenario— a man-made accident. You are the supervisor tasked with training representatives for the following groups in how to create a sample plan for recovery:

    • Emergency and government managers.
    • First responders.
    • Business leaders.
    • Heads of families or households.
    • Personnel in charge of or dealing with special needs groups such as the elderly, non-English speaking people, children, et cetera.

    Referencing the nine core principles of recovery planning, prepare a slide presentation of the four top principles you would choose to present in a training for these groups. Your purpose is to introduce the target audience to what goes into a well-rounded recovery plan. Use your personal and professional experiences, your readings, as well as situations you have seen in the media scenario that would lend themselves to planning recovery. Be sure to cite your resources.
    In your PowerPoint:

    1. Provide summaries of four core principles of recovery that you have chosen to focus on that are directly related to the recovery phase. Choose four of these nine from the National Disaster Recovery Framework:
      • Individual and family empowerment.
      • Leadership and local primacy.
      • Pre-disaster recovery planning.
      • Partnerships and inclusiveness.
      • Public information.
      • Unity of effort.
      • Timeliness and flexibility.
      • Resilience and sustainability.
      • Psychological and emotional recovery.
    2. Illustrate each of the four core principles of recovery that you have chosen, using examples within the train derailment/chemical spill as your context.
    3. Create a plan for implementing one recovery measure in one of the core principles you have chosen.

    Requirements

    The PowerPoint presentation should be 10–12 slides, not including the title slide and the references slide (ensure APA format for the references). Use one slide to succinctly deliver each main point.

    • Put your explanatory and expanded information for each of the main points on the following slide.
      • Do not use the Notes section because Turnitin cannot evaluate the Notes.
      • Alternately, put them in a separate Word document. Label each set of notes in the Word document with the number and title of the slide to which the notes refer.
    • Written communication: Must be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
    • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. (Use a larger font for your main point slides in PowerPoint.)
    • APA formatting for any citations and references used in the assignment.
    • 10–12 slides total, excluding the title slide and the reference slide. (Slide count goes down to 5–6 slides, not counting title and references slides, if you use the separate Word document to provide your notes.)
    • Main point slides should be in short, concise, preferably in a bulleted list that does not exceed five list items. Explanations on the following slide in the PowerPoint or in a separate Word doc should not exceed 250 words for each point. Although not required, enhancing PowerPoints with graphics, links to other resources, and audio commentary makes for an effective and engaging presentation.

    You are required to submit your assignment to Turnitin. Once you review your results and make any needed changes, submit your presentation for grading.
