References to CPG 101 Pages 4-11 to 4-12 Determine Goals and Actions In Step Three your local planning team will be introduced to the elements of a scenario plan and will be asked to work through a table top exercise that simulates a community being impacted by a major flood (or other relevant scenario). This scenario planning activity will help the team gain valuable experiences in identifying areas of vulnerability in your community, especially in terms of your emergency operational plans. As a team, you will be asked to: (1) assess what could happen in the event of a major hazard or threat in your community; (2) brainstorm ways to address the key hazard; (3) explore various options to address the disaster and select the most viable goals; and (4) determine the specific actions that should be pursued in order for your community to be able to prepare for and respond to major hazards/threats in the future. Once your planning team has worked through the scenario planning, they will learn the ingredients for developing SMART goals. The planning team will then brainstorm key goals related to FEMA’s 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESF), and write SMART goals for each selected ESF. The planning team will then develop a list of actions that will support each goal. Once these revisions are completed, they will be shared and discussed with the planning team. Final refinements to the goals and actions will be completed prior to the beginning of the Step Four team session. Advance Preparation Two Weeks Prior Follow up with local point person Confirm final count Discuss any questions/concerns that may have surfaced Send out a reminder email Confirm date, time, location Go over what they should expect, their responsibilities Confirm food and beverages, if being provided, with local point person Double check logistical arrangements Print handouts (See “Supplies Needed” below) Add your contact information to the final slide in PowerPoint “ReadyCommunity – Step Three” Day of Event Arrive at meeting place at least 45 minutes prior to meeting in order to: Set up PowerPoint equipment. Have the first slide displayed as participants arrive. Arrange tables and chairs so that participants can be face-to-face. A U-shape works well with the projector screen in the opening of the U.
