LOOK

• Let’s divide up into groups and discuss what policies and procedures your county/school district has for planning, preventing, practicing, and responding to a specific type of disaster.

“The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B."-- James Yorke, mathematics and physics professor

DEBRIEF BY TABLE

• Use the SHEL Model to debrief your table discussion.

• S = What are the major procedures• H = What equipment is critical and what

equipment can be borrowed• E = What changes with rain, cold, hot, wind• L = What are the liveware-liveware interfaces and

who are the critical players

LOOK

• Disaster / Crisis areas at the tables:• Table 1: Guns and bombs• Table 2: Explosions and Fires• Table 3: Crashes (Airplanes, buses, trains, cars)• Table 4: Chemical Spills (Plants, trucks, & trains)• Table 5: Sports events (basketball and football)• Table 6: Bad weather (Tornado, lightning, winds)

Use the SHEL Model as the discussion starter
