The document discusses assessing the effectiveness of action plans and conducting after action reviews. It lists seven items that must be considered when assessing an action plan: whether the initial strategy and tactics are still valid and effective; if forecasts and predictions are still accurate; whether communication is adequate; if trigger points and management action points are still appropriate; if the plan accounts for new forecasts; and if resources need adjusting. It also indicates that action plans may need updating if the scenario changes, and that after action reviews identify lessons learned to improve future response.
