Such an evaluation is a tool used to improve upon mistakes made during an incident so that the next one will proceed more smoothly or achieve the desired outcome. If you read AARs over time you might note that many issues are brought up repeatedly. Unfortunately, this indicates that some lessons are not learned, despite the fact that they are often called “Lessons Learned.” Regardless, the point is that performance evaluation is key to improving systems in every workplace and the disaster management arena is no different. Public Health Policy and Disaster Performance Discussion Public policy largely guides what we do and how we do it at the local, state and federal level in disaster management.

To stimulate your mind and throw you a curve ball, we have included a journal article that will have you asking yourself whether or not everything you are taught as an emergency clinician and disaster manager is correct. Congratulations on making it to the end of the course. Reading Textbook assignments 1. Ciottone chapters 61 and 62 2.
