Preplan/Committee/Task Review
From PCSAR
New tasks are given to the committee by:
- the BoardCommittee
- identified by the committee members
- arise from search critiques.
In September 2004, we discussed the complexity that comes with all the Standard Operating Procedures, forms, and preplans which we are producing. Do we need this complication? What difficulty does it cause for our members? Does it make handling the incident easier? How can we cut down on our workload?
We reviewed all the tasks that the committee has identified before. In the process we came up with three questions that can help us decide whether a task is worth doing:
- Have we ever had to deal with the issue in a real incident?
- Is it about the things we do most?
- Can we defer to people that have more understanding of the issue?
