Scenario Planning in Disaster Management: A Call to Change the Current Practice
Journal Title: The Journal of Medicine, Law & Public Health (JMLPH) - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The current pandemic uncovered how disastrous our disaster plans. The disaster doctrine in its current state is far from ideal, and another model of thinking is warranted. Scenario planning provides a standardised way of thinking on how to plan for the future. We believe disaster doctrine is probably the most doctrine that will benefit from this thinking model. Using scenario planning will uncover our assumptions, deficiencies and will inform a disaster best practice.
