1.2.1.6 Testing the Plan
While a good emergency plan is essential, it should not
be tested for the first time in an actual disaster situation.
Deficiencies are always discovered during testing. Also, a
test serves to train the personnel who will carry out the
plan if necessary. Video can help evaluate the plan to
identify shortcomings and show personnel what they did
right and wrong. Through such peer review a practical
and efficient plan can be put in place to minimize losses
to the organization.
