SMART Objectives

Write at least 5 S.M.A.R.T Objective on “Mass Search and Rescue Operations”

Use ESSD as the only available resource.

Key Words:

Core Capabilities – Disaster Management phases – Response, Recovery – SMART Objectives – Exercises, Evaluation, Drill, Full- and small-scale exercise, evaluation Plan, Design Exercises, simulation. TTX, Seminar.

Each SMART Objective would be 2-3 sentence so the whole assignment would be around half a page.

It’s very easy if you understand it or have a background in disaster management.

Please look at the scenario:

The Group Scenario:

The National Weather Service has posted a severe weather watch. Your area of Liberty County can expect 3-4 inches of rain in the next 18-24 hours. Your area rarely sees rainfall of this magnitude. Authorities suggest that utility failure is likely and evacuation of some homes may be needed. The area is likely to be impacted for 3-5 days after the rain stops. Address this contingency from the Liberty County EOC perspective. Take into consideration appropriate core capabilities and emergency support functions. Assume that travel will be very difficult, making it almost impossible to obtain outside resources. Begin with a seminar among key municipal, healthcareand public health officials. Alternatively, your seminar could segue into your TTX by assembling an EOC in anticipation of the storm’s arrival. Build up to a tabletop exercise. You should include all agencies that may need to play a role.

Travel in and around the city will be gridlocked. Address issues from the perspective of municipal emergency management. Take into consideration appropriate core capabilities and emergency support functions.
