the community can edify itself on the importance of writings and words of practitioners and scholars alike.
There are exercises that can help the community to get a better understanding of the realities of response through drills, tabletop exercises, functional exercise, and full-scale exercise. By engaging in these activities, one is able to identify any shortfalls or failures that may exist in planning, training, organization, or equipment (pp. 105). The planning cycle would not be complete without evaluating its procedures and taking corrective measures for future actions. The plans, equipment, and trained staff are examined in an imaginary scenario, and any possible changes are identified and the corrective measures are applied.

FEMA has developed the National Prevention Framework (NPF) that outlines the whole community approach to a disaster discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to homeland and security. Although, communities have participated in some form of evacuation planning as part of emergency management, not many have been able to conduct a full-scale test that would give them an accurate idea of how it would function in a real-life situation. However, while it has been difficult for evacuation planning, efforts are been made to ensure that communities are kept informed and individuals are provided for including those with various special …show more content…
The lack of coordination, and communication are some of the problems that can interfere with the response to a disaster. In order to create a sense of order, the Incident Command System (ICS) was developed to help volunteers create a coordinated and systematic approach in working together. Including in the ICS were a planned set of directives to assign one coordinator to manage the infrastructure of the response, assigning personnel, to deploy equipment and obtain resources and working with other agencies that respond to the disaster scene. This systematic approach eliminates a significant problem that the volunteers would encounter when responding to a disaster such as power struggles, miscommunication, and the duplication of efforts. Now ICS operates within five major management systems that are the command, operations, planning, logistics, and finance that maintains on the needs of the community.
Some examples of recovery include protecting oneself when an earthquake strikes by going for cover, running to the basement with your pets when a tornado strikes, or taking the animals to safety when a wildfire
