This week we discuss the elements of planning, specifically for scenarios that you might face. I focus more on the planning steps and elements than any one scenario, as there are a multitude of potential hazards that may be realized. How do we integrate a specific scenario into my overall preparedness plan? What could possibly go wrong and cause a disruption? We walk through how top plan, figure out what you are exposed to, ask yourself how this will influence my normal operations and finally, what steps do I need to take to prepare for that? Are you looking at the simple and basic animalistic requirements? (food, water, shelter, first aid and security). Or are you wishing to conduct a detailed analysis for this specific scenario based upon the critical infrastructure that supports modern society? The possibilities are endless but you are responsible for your outcomes, so how can you not consider scenario planning?
