Application: Crisis Plan—Evaluation and Analysis

Strategies and elements of a crisis plan should be reviewed periodically to ensure they are up-to-date and to add possible solutions learned from recent crisis experiences. Evaluating a crisis plan typically involves examination of “what went right and what went wrong.” Changes that evolve from the evaluation process can include changes in leadership that result from failure to execute strategies and/or legal and ethical issues. Responding procedures may undergo changes because even “what went right” may be improved upon or expanded. Furthermore, resources may be updated because they are usually problematic for implementing any plan, particularly for a disaster of enormous scope. Financial considerations may be evaluated as well, and national, state, and local foundations and government agencies/departments may respond to revisions by providing resources in the form of grants to individuals or organizations. Plans and grants should continually be reviewed and renewed through this cycle of analysis.

To prepare for this assignment:

• Thinking about Hurricane Katrina, review pp. 164-175 of the article, “After Katrina: Building Back Better Than Ever,” and think about how the recommendations made might be applied to other natural disaster situations and/or locations.
• Review Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 17 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to the information on response efforts to Hurricane Katrina.
• Review Chapters 9 and 12 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, focusing on how organizational learning can be a useful part of crisis management evaluation and analysis.
• Review the article, “Project CREST: A New Model for Mental Health Intervention After a Community Disaster.” Consider how response analysis led to the development, in this example, of a useful new disaster intervention training.
• Review the article, “Styles of Suicide Intervention: Professionals’ Responses and Clients’ Preferences,” and reflect on how the authors investigated and analyzed professional responses to client suicide.
• Using Hurricane Katrina as your natural disaster case study, think about and evaluate the strategies used in the Mississippi crisis plan.
• Research the impact of Hurricane Katrina on either the Alabama or Louisiana coast line.
• Then consider which elements or strategies of the Mississippi crisis plan might be applicable and/or relevant to use in Alabama or Louisiana.
• Research the demographics for either the Alabama or Louisiana coast line and determine how the Mississippi crisis plan could be used in either of those states.
• Consider what you think might need to be added to the Mississippi crisis plan were it to be applied to recovery efforts in either Alabama or Louisiana.

The assignment: (4–6 pages)

• Based on your evaluation of strategies and the situation in the Hurricane Katrina natural disaster, explain which strategies you would use and why.
• Based on your analysis of the Mississippi crisis plan, explain which elements of the plan might be relevant/applicable to either Alabama or Louisiana.
• Identify any element of the plan that might be missing for either Alabama or Louisiana.

based on your review, please respond to the following:

Specifically focus on the 4 categories of the regulatory environment. Select any two of the categories and explain to executive management why effectively managing the categories are extremely important to organization effectiveness and efficiency. Remember, you are briefing executive management and not lower managers or employees, so your response should be appropriate to higher management communication.

Note: Your response to the discussion must be informative, be supported with research,  and follow the requirements set by this course.

Decision making is the process of identifying and choosing  alternative courses of action. While we want to make rational decisions,  sometimes we don’t . . . sometimes we make non-rational decisions.

There are four steps in rational decision-making:

1. Recognize and define the problem or opportunity-In business the  problem can come in the form of customer complaints, supplier  breakdowns, staff turnover, sales decline, etc. Organizations  proactively seek opportunities to exceed goals, surpass the industry  expectations and to expand and grow the business. 
2. Identify and analyze alternative courses of action-Leaders  should seek input from multiple sources to interpret and analyze the  problem/opportunity to come up with as many options as possible to solve  the issue. 
3. Choose a preferred course of action-The group want to answer the  following: (1) Is the action ethical?; (2) Is it feasible? (costs,  technology availability; (3) Is it effective? If your answer to this  question is the resolution is “good enough” you want to rethink this  solution it will cause more harm than good. 
4. Implement the preferred course of action-You need to the participation from all teams to successfully implement the action. 

On the other hand, non-rational decisions are generally the result of either Satisficing (going with the first available option without much research) or Intuition (using your “gut” or just your own feelings to make decisions).

For this week’s discussion, think about a time when you made a non-rational decision on the job or in your personal life.

• Was it the result of satisficing or intuition? 
• How would your decision have been different using the four steps for rational decision-making? 
• How would the steps have helped you to make a better, or more sound, decision? 

• For each approach, discuss what methods can be used to circumvent the attack, prevent it, or minimize the disruption caused by the event.
• Include 3 pages of material covering the 3 discussion areas.

A case manager must fulfill many roles in his or her practice. Select one role of a case manager from the following list: (Counselor)

• Advocate
• Broker
• Coordinator
• Consultant
• Counselor
• Planner
• Problem Solver
• Record keeper

In a 1-2 page Word document, describe the attributes needed to achieve this role for the client. Explain how you are best equipped to fulfill this role and what things you can do to improve your ability to fill that role. As your response should include a great amount of self-reflection, outside resources are not necessary.
