Clark County EOP Basic Plan 6. Plan Development, Maintenance and Implementation As appropriate, the County will use Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program procedures and tools to develop, conduct, and evaluate these exercises. Information about this program can be found at http://hseep.dhs.gov. The Emergency Manager will work with County departments and agencies to identify and implement corrective actions and mitigation measures, based on exercises conducted through Emergency Management. 6.4 Event Critique and After Action Reporting To document and track lessons learned from exercises, the Emergency Manager will conduct a review, or “hot wash,” with exercise participants after each exercise. The Emergency Manager will also coordinate an AAR, which will describe the objectives of the exercise, document the results of the evaluation, and improve the County’s readiness. Reviews and AARs will also be facilitated after an actual disaster. All agencies involved in the emergency response will participate in the AAR. The AAR following an incident should describe actions taken, identify equipment shortcomings and strengths, and recommend ways to improve operational readiness. Recommendations may include future exercise events and programs. Success stores and lessons learned should be submitted to the Lessons Learned Information Sharing website (www.llis.gov). The Emergency Manager will ensure that equipment, training, and planning shortfalls identified following an incident are addressed by the County’s EMO. 6.5 Community Outreach and Preparedness Education The County will educate the public about threats, disasters, and what to do when an emergency occurs. The County maintains an active community preparedness program and recognizes that citizen preparedness and education are vital components of the County’s overall readiness. Information about the County’s public education programs, hazard and mitigation information, and other emergency management and emergency services can be found on the County’s website at http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/fire/oem/Pages/default.aspx. 6.6 Funding and Sustainment It is a priority of the County to fund and maintain an EMO that ensures the County’s ability to respond to and recover from disasters. The Emergency Manager will work with the County Manager, Board of Commissioners, and community stakeholders to:  Identify funding sources for emergency management programs, personnel, and equipment.  Ensure that the Board is informed of progress toward building emergency response and recovery capabilities and is aware of gaps to be addressed.  Leverage partnerships with local, regional, and State partners to maximize use of scarce resources. 6-3
