Topic 2: Getting started on the planning process
Overview
This topic consists of three components: planning process overview, project definition and planning group formation. The last two of these components require assignment work. The project definition that you develop will form your first assignment. The beginning of the second assignment will include your revised project definition and a description of your planning group.
It is expected that you will base your emergency planning study and assignments on the results of the risk assessment work performed in EMG101, Emergency Management Planning I. As the purpose of the risk assessment that you have performed was to develop a risk treatment plan and associated planning objectives, it is expected that you will now begin to realise some of those objectives in the assignment required for this subject.
Learning outcomes
After completing the work for this topic, you should be able to:
- list the steps of an emergency planning process;
- describe the components of project definition and how they are applied;
- produce a project definition for your assignment;
- form an appropriate planning group.
