• What participating agencies may be more or less involved in which parts of the plan development? Explain.
• Are there subject matter experts (SMEs) or other entities that should be involved in any one specific area of the plan development? Explain.

  • Identify the major challenges that the community and responders will encounter when responding to the hazard.
  • What solutions exist (e.g., mutual aid, contract services) to overcome those challenges? Explain in detail.
  • What should be the short- and long-term recovery goals of the community following this event’s occurrence?
