Aim
• Strengthen the ability of crisis management organisations to assess risks leading to deteriorations in the situation
• Preempting bad situations getting worse due to lack of attention to the immediate future
Setup
• Team leader, 3 – 4 experienced analysts + network of experts
Output
• Outline of problems that may worsen the current situation
• Tangible input to the decision making process during crisis situations
Methodology
History
The incident
Loss of control
Spreading
Resource shortages
Outline of problems that may worsen the current situation
Current situation
Input Analysis Output
Input Current situation
• Sources: situation reports, media, social media
History
• Lessons learned from previous incidents
• Frame of reference
• Sources: reports, risk registers, personal experiences etc.
Analysis
What happens to the situation if we amplify problems related to:
• The incident
• Loss of control
• Ressource shortages
• Spreading
Potential problems checklist The incident
Increased intensity Prolonged duration Inaccurate forecast Increased mortality Different from what was initially assumed Unpredictability […]
Loss of control
Breakdown of physical barriers Breakdown of procedures Breakdown of communication systems Inefficient crisis management Insufficient overview Insufficient situational awareness Insufficient understanding of affected’s needs and losses Insufficient focus on recovery Loss of credibility or reputation Loss of political support (local/national/internat.) Rumours/misinformation Anxiety/unrest Undesirable behavioural changes Active resistance towards authorities Riots […]
Resource shortages
Staff shortages Transport shortages Insufficient facilities, systems or equipment Insufficient time Exhaustion/fatigue Limited redundancy Fiscal limitations (short/long term) Insufficient leadership/prioritisation/delegation Insufficient rear area support Insufficient training/experience Insufficient technical capabilities Insufficient recovery capabilities […] Spreading
Breakdown/failure of critical functions Critical functions under pressure Knock-on effects btw. sectors Geographical (local/national/internat.) Socially Pollution/contamination […]
Analysis Potential problems categorized according to four generic scenarios
• The current situation getting worse
• The current situation goes on
• Recovery is (too) slow
• Something else happens
Output The current situation getting worse
• Number of possible infected livestock keeps increasing
• Tests confirm suspicion of foot-and-mouth disease
• Insufficient overview of the spread, undersized crisis management setup on all levels, low confidence in autorities (bad crisis management track record),
The current situation goes on
• The foot-and-mouth outbreak continues or re-emerges in spite of containment measures
Something else happens
• Other unrelated large scale incident requiring contibution from DEMA or the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration
Foot-and-mouth disease Exercise JAN 2015
Output
Foot-and-mouth disease exercise 20 JAN 15, 0800 (day 2)
Time
The current situation goes on The foot-and-mouth outbreak continues or re-emerges in spite of containment measures. Physical and mental exhaustion/fatigue among DEMA personnel, insufficient special equipment.
Something else happens Other unrelated large scale incident requiring contibution from DEMA or the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.
The current situation getting worse Increased intensity. Number of possible infected livestock keeps increasing. Tests confirm suspicion of foot-and-mouth disease. Loss of containment due to insufficient overview of the spread, undersized crisis management setup on all levels, low confidence in autorities (bad crisis management track record), loss of backing from key stakeholders (agriculture and food industry), too slow operational response, active resistance against operational measures (quarantine, ban on transport, culling). Resource shortages. Too few DEMA-teams, insufficient crisis communication.
Recovery is (too) slow Not relevant at the current time.
