 Critical Assessment in Emergency Management

In emergency management, the definition accounts for the mitigation process and process

delivery in a way that allows for recovery to be planned. Considering the elements of

preparation, there is an aspect of responsive thinking, preventive action, recovery orientation,

and control assessment. These are aspects that in many ways allow for progression of activities

smoothly with the justification of earlier preparation hence a look at hazard controls and resource

mobilization that can be sustainable. Therefore, participative action is a necessary factor in the

instrumentation of both authority and implementation as it facilitates better communication

during an emergency (Zhou et al., 2017). Provision of services that are geared towards

emergency as fast-paced and within this a demand of effective and efficient working process

with reliance on team and processes almost in totality.

The specificity of critical assessment in emergency management looks at the intended

actions, intended medium if facilitation of service delivery, the stakeholder involved, awareness

controls, infrastructure dependency, and potential redundancies. These are important ins

supporting the intention by ensuring that response and recovery are derivative and strategically

implemented. As such, these specific activities give a way in which indicators can be measured

while also allowing prioritization of needs, before, during, and after emergency services.

A good example is looking at the dissemination of emergency services to any

community. There is a need for the involvement of communicative aspects with institutions,

administration, and local authorities in similar strength as with the community itself. This would

allow for better control of crowds and also in the facilitation of a faster approach to the

emergency site. Prior strategizing and preparedness ensures that everyone involves
understanding positioning in time of delivery of service while also facilitating an increase of

robustness in areas of need.
