Wildfire Response Planning Activity
Your local area is working to develop a Wildfire Response Plan for certification by FEMA. Many of the individuals involved in emergency response for your area are new to the area, and communication has been an issue that needs to be addressed.
The purposes of this activity are to
- Develop and understanding of roles and responsibilities.
- Understand communication needs
- "debug" problems
- serve as a basis for development of response plan
Some of the questions that will need to be addressed and clarified are:
- Who is responsible for what actions?
- What resources to you have available or direct?
- Who needs to be informed of your actions or information that you have?
- Who do you need information from?
For this role-play activity, you will be researching your own roles.
You need to:
- Select a role and post your selection to this web page. You may pair up on roles, but if you do so, then work together on the next part.
- Research your role. Find out what tasks you would need to perform and what information you would need to do your job (hint: googling "wildfire response plan" might be one place to start). Document what you find on a Swiki page linked to your role.
