Self assess your current response performance / capability.

| Self Assessment - Response Capability |

 
In and of itself, the existence of a plan does not constitute sufficient evidence of capability. Yes, up to date and quality documentation is important - but it needs to be a focused record of agreed actions which are capable of being undertaken, and arrangements which are in place to ensure those actions happen efficiently and effectively. In short, it needs to be a "living, owned plan".

The electronic information age has seen a huge growth of "plan templates" industries - meeting the simplistic need for compliance based "tick the boxes" approaches. It is not uncommon to find the same "plan" (with a few word changes) being used for different locations, organisations and risks. Such "plan template" approaches may pass narrow and shallow tests - but they actually weaken the resilience and capability of organisations; they increase your risks.

Modern risk management should be about systems and relationships that support organisations to become more resilient before a disaster and agile enough to respond when disaster strikes. Therefore, our "templates" are "process based" - supporting your planning activities and capability development.

During a crisis, attributions are lodged in the IMPACT COLUMN.
IMPACT combines with CRITICALITY giving a RISK LEVEL for each resource.
These risk levels provide a basis for developing ACTION PLANNING priorities.
