Abstract

When first looking at an event or crisis, our initial inclination is to speculate and construct conclusions regarding what occurred and why. These conclusions are often premature. We may believe we see the nature of the occurrence; its scope, scale and basic elements. However, behind the observable event or crisis are other details we can only begin to describe. And, as if to truly challenge the complexities associated with our observations and conclusions, there are other details we do not see at all and about which we may not even be able to speculate. Our interest in this chapter is to examine ways to build a plan that helps those involved in event management or crisis containment activities better understand their tasks and make the best decisions possible.
