Re: Communication Plan
The community emergency team response is a program that is much important for
trained civilians to respond to local disasters. It is an effort that is vital in disaster
management and communication and makes it safe and effective for rescuers and survivors
alike. The purpose of this paper is to look and analyze at the role of communication by CERT
in safety and disaster management. The emergency in this situation is a major attack against
electrical power grid in the city (Ali, et al,2015).
When disaster strikes, one may need a communication plan inorder to have an
effective and efficient rescue mission. Creating a good communicatuion plan is necessary due
to ensure a consistent communication and a clear chain of command. First create a point of
contact to eve people as the point of contact for the emergency Granville, Mehta, & Pike,
2016).. Try to also have points of contact with the media, partners, other agencies and aothere
employees during the attack. Provide the contact people with all relevant information
regarding the emergency and rescue mission to avoid unnecessary headaches while working
with a lot of contacts and burdening yourself.
Initial response
In case of the emergency, create an intial response to the emergency which will
require immediate communications to the people affected by the emergency. This will
include the soldiers and the civilians in the cities.
