  • 1. What processes can an agency use to recognize warning signs of an internal crisis before it creates a major impact?
  • 2. RESPOND to this student comment: (Jared) Inspections and pre-plans could help identify potential for a major event before it occurs.

Developing and practicing pre-plans for emergencies will help personnel and business owners to be prepared for an incident. I used to work in a small town where the only Haz Mat technicians were EMS employees, we did a lot of pre-planning around a single Anhydrous Ammonia container that sat in the middle of town, next to a school. We quickly identified that we had the tools for the first hour or so an incident but would need additional assistance for transport and clean up.
