After Action Report Guidance - Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program

Keywords / Description:

The AAR is the tool used to provide feedback on the results of the exercise, it summarizes the discussion related to the plans, policies, procedures, training, resources, agreements, and relationships that have been put into place. The report also captures issues that could not be resolved during discussion and therefore require follow-up as well as alternative or innovative approaches that could be implemented.

This three page PDF is direct guidance from the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) manual on how to Draft the After Action Report (AAR). An AAR is required for Project Public Health Ready recognition, if an LHD does not have evidence of an Incident Action Plan.
