Fostering Successful Emergency Planning

Fostering a successful emergency plan ensures that the plan focuses on intensive training and exercises. In doing so, the plan reinforces emergency preparedness for a number of potential emergencies. The exercises that emergency planners can create to test their plans include trial or testing through prototypes and operations, rehearsing the plan and explaining the plan to others and memorizing it (‎Perry, 2016). The best way to access emergencies is through trials. I believe this is true because when accessing emergency systems using trial, one bases the trial on socialist systems. The use of socialist systems in responding to emergencies ...

Abstract

STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis), is a new hazard analysis technique designed to “eliminate or control scenarios” before they result in losses (Leveson 2011). STPA is based upon an analysis of loss of functional control of a process rather than on an analysis of failure of individual components. Therefore, the model that is used in STPA is a functional control diagram rather than a physical component diagram (Leveson 2011). STPA provides guidance to the users, as opposed to other hazard analyses. In addition, STPA can be used before a system ...

Kh. & JA Discussion Response:

I agree with you that small towns should have their own HVA/THIRA and due to the rather small scope compared to cities, counties and regions, I believe that it should be tailored to the unique needs of the small town. According to Sund (2016), the best strategy is to analyze the local threats and hazards then break them down into three groups i.e. human-caused, technological and ultimately natural hazards. She also recommends that the list of hazards should be culled based on the probability of occurrence, or by referring to previous local hazards, and crossing off hazards that with ...
