CJA/375 v4 Incident Action Plan Example The example below demonstrates how to write an objective and strategic supporting statement for each phase of an incident action plan. A clear and concise strategic supporting statement will follow the SMART goal model: Specific – Is the wording precise and unambiguous? Measurable – How will achievements be measured? Action Oriented – Is an action verb used to describe expected accomplishments? Realistic – Is the outcome achievable with given available resources? Time Sensitive – What is the timeframe? (Based on ICS form 202) Example Initial Response Phase 1. National Guard will be tasked with providing field medical services in the counties of Richmond a. The National Guard Commander will select various mobile medical field sites from within Richmond County in order to provide medical attention, triage service, and basic medical attention to evacuees and other personnel. A co-located EVAC site must be identified in order to provide helicopter EVOC and resupplies as needed for evacuees and other personnel. NG Commander will report to EOC OIC no later than 1800 hours, Monday Oct. 12, 2018 for a situational report and field force will be in place NLT 24 hours at SITRAP. b. 2. Objective Two a. Fire services/rescue equipment and personnel will immediately provide on-scene operations, providing additional SITRAP information to the Incident Command Center (ICC). b. 3. Objective Three a. b.

CJA/375 v4 Emergency Management Scenarios Scenarios Scenario 1: Severe Weather Flood Major portions of the city have been affected by sudden severe weather with hail and heavy rains. This has caused the North River to flood parts of the City of Mertzville. Incidents are being reported across a large scale area. You have received an emergency declaration from your Mayor and have been asked to immediately respond and implement the Incident Command System (ICS) and emergency management response. Overview: The North River flows south through the entire City of Mertzville, including by an industrial business park where several manufacturing plants and warehouses store various dangerous chemicals and much of the city’s food storage, as well as by the city’s vibrant downtown riverfront district, which includes shopping, restaurants, and condominiums. The severe flooding has caused the North River to displace all businesses within one block of the river and some residences in the downtown riverfront area. The North River has not flooded in over 100 years and this event was unplanned. Your Learning Team assignment requires a response plan to the flooded area along with the coordination and implementation of a disaster response. Overview: The City of Mertzville is 78 square miles and has a population of 198,000 people with two operational hospitals, three high schools, four junior high schools, and nine elementary schools. There are three police stations, seven fire stations, and one National Guard training center for resources. Mertzville has very little public transportation and the majority of transportation is via personal vehicle. Your Learning Team assignment requires a response plan and general management approach to the critical incident resulting from the flood and an immediate implementation plan for Incident Command System (ICS). Scenario 2: Winter Storm The City of Mertzville is facing an approaching winter storm system which appears to be strengthening and showing no sign of letting up or diverting. It has been snowing off and on over the past few days with 24 to 30 inches of additional snow to fall in the next 8 to 12 hours. Parents have come to the schools to remove their children early due to the weather and are reporting very bad roads with whiteout conditions in some areas. Road crews are already unable to keep up with snow accumulation on major roads and are not plowing less-traveled roads or neighborhoods. Many of the main roads are already needing to be closed due to white-out conditions and multiple motor vehicle accidents. Many schools report parents calling and being unable to get to the schools, and they expect that children will have to take shelter at the schools for the night. The National Weather Service and state government have both issued a shelterin-place recommendation effective immediately, requiring procedures for citizens to seek a place of safety from the severe weather and remain, possibly for an extended period of time.

There are three police stations, seven fire stations, and one National Guard training center for resources. Mertzville has very little public transportation and the majority of transportation is via personal vehicle. The city has sufficient food supplies in local shelters and food banks, however there has been no delivery plan implemented yet. Your Learning Team assignment requires a response plan to the severe winter weather and implementation plan for Incident Command System (ICS). Scenario 3: Explosion The City of Mertzville has a professional baseball team whose stadium has a maximum capacity of 40,000 people. The stadium is in the downtown area, a bustling city environment with a multitude of eating establishments, nightclubs, and shopping, and is near a large hospital. The stadium has had a large explosion in the third base seating area (west side) of the stadium.

There are three police stations, seven fire stations, and one National Guard training center for resources. Mertzville has very little public transportation and the majority of transportation is via personal vehicle. Your Learning Team assignment requires a response plan and general management approach to the critical incident resulting from the explosion and an immediate implementation plan for Incident Command System (ICS). Assignment Requirements As part of this assignment your Learning Team must create a detailed Incident Action Plan and operations plan detailing: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Initial response Incident management/establishment including ICS Org. Chart Demobilization of resources Restoration Recovery approach to the North River flood emergency management scenario Summary Consider incorporating the following: • • • • • • • • An overview of the emergency management incident Initial response, roles, and assignment of first responders (patrol officers, fire, EMS) The full range of Incident Command System (ICS), including: o Command, structure, sections, positions, and roles o positions by title, role, and assignment, with assigned personnel for each position o All roles in a properly detailed organization chart Public information statement Social media approach and information dissemination Traffic plan Evacuation plan Medical plan Copyright 2019 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. Emergency Management Scenarios CJA/375 v4 Page 3 of 3 • • Demobilization plan Mitigation concerns must be addressed with an area recovery plan Consider the following questions: • • • • • Should there be national standards for emergency management operations plans at large-scale sporting events? How do you notify citizens or give better response and evacuation instructions? How do you deal with the internal communications of those working in the emergency environment who may not be able to utilize radios/communication equipment? What are your plans for documenting the event so as to address future training and response approaches? How can training be improved for better response to future emergency preparedness and incidents? You have the flexibility to improvise or realistically create information or details not included in the emergency management materials. Critical elements of this assignment focus on your team’s ability to understand different ways and means of applying the emergency management process and approach to safely manage critical incidents. These incidents often involve tough decisions, including assignments, personnel, equipment, training, and other factors affecting employees. Copyright 2019 by University of Phoenix.
