Defining the Need

The first step in good planning is to define the problem. In emergency communications planning, this is best done in three steps:

1. List all of the possible disasters that could occur in your area, and assign each a level of probability.
2. Assess how each of these disasters would impact the community and its communication infrastructure.
3. Evaluate the resources your community already has to meet a communication emergency (our "served agencies").
