Hi, SMART objectives are widely utilized in creating plans for projects. Since incident management is also a goal-oriented program, SMART objectives can be adopted in planning emergency responses. Your take on using the SMART directives in the tornado scenario provides a series of planned activities that can preserve property and life. The emergency goals in a disaster should focus on prevention and mitigation. The results of the planned programs should be obtainable, centric, realistic, and valid in accordance with SMART objectives. The strategies for controlling the tornado incident should work towards reducing risk, sustaining operations, and protecting property and lives. By providing specific, timely, and attainable mechanisms, your strategies can be sufficient in handling the tornado scenario which is exactly what you have done briefly. Short and understandable policies make it easier for the emergency response teams to work towards obtaining the SMART directives (Turoff, Chumer, Van de Walle & Yao, 2004).
Hi, your response adds crucial perspectives when it comes to accomplishing specified disaster objectives, that is, what and who aspects of the strategies. First, the appropriate people should be selected to carry out the emergency response activities and they must be aware of what exactly is required of them. The tasks should then be accorded a timeframe by which the delegated persons have to accomplish them as well as the available tools and the expected outcomes. In addition to what and who elements of a plan, SMART objectives also indicate how the response teams have come up with the standardized mechanisms as well as the consequences of the actions. The plans that you lay out consider who and what aspects in terms of the individuals who will take over the emergency response duties and the desired results. The strategies also cover the element of timeliness that is also essential in SMART objectives. By incorporating the SMART directives into disaster response, emergency teams have efficient and accurate ways to mitigate various hazards (Jennex, 2007).
