Purpose and Context
Assumptions
>>
The effectiveness of this manual rests upon a set of assumptions. The
validity of these assumptions is directly proportionate to the manual’s
potential benefit to the university. These assumptions include:
- That those reviewing
parts of this manual will be thorough in their critique considering
content, completeness, and anticipated effectiveness of its implementation;
- That items identified
for action will be conscientiously pursued to completion;
- That essential
elements of information will be made clear to those who will need to
act or react based upon knowledge of those elements;
- That “designated
personnel” will be able to fulfill their responsibilities;
- That sufficient
communications will survive the incident to permit the Response Management or Leadership Groups to
direct and manage the response and initial restoration phases;
- That the identification
of our readiness to sustain or restore our critical functions is conducted
conscientiously and with exceptional candor;
- That sufficient
personnel and material resources survive an incident to place these
procedures in effect;
- That this planning
effort will eventually be understood to be far more important that the
plan itself.
