Question

Make the key outline based on this: " Evaluating the effectiveness of disaster response Public Health's ultimate motive in an emergency is to the do the most good for the most people in the shortest possible timeframe. Your evaluation criteria should reflect this. The criteria in evaluat- ing response effectiveness must acknowledge the urgency and resource limits of your disaster re- sponse activities. As with all public health evaluation, ways to measure effective intervention should be built into the intervention itself. Constant evaluation during disaster response activities will allow you to alter your response to better meet the needs of the population. Your plan should note that the standards by which you measure the effectiveness of your disaster response will be adjusted from those applied to the measurement of everyday programs. Your plan should include guidelines for developing an after action report (see Section III.Q.). The guidelines used in your agency should be complementary to those utilized by your jurisdiction's emergency management agency. Remember that an after action report, like any evaluation report, is only effective if shortfalls and successes are identified and changes to the plan are made to improve the process for the next emergency."
