Activity 3.3

In your own words, develop a list of questions that you believe will enable you to gather the relevant information required and analyse the effectiveness of communications in your selected event’s pre-impact phase. Once again, list these questions on a piece of paper or electronic file and save them for future reference.

Example: 

An example of three questions I would ask are:

•	How did emergency management planners communicate with each other and the community in the development of emergency management plans, procedures and arrangements? i.e. did they have committees, regular meetings, information sessions, public awareness campaigns etc.
•	Were there any specific plans in place that addressed the communication needs relevant to the selected emergency/ disaster?
•	If so, who was involved in the development of the plans and procedures, and were the systems and procedures in place regularly tested/ exercised?

Continue on and make an expanded list of your own questions.
