Assumptions, Planning
Assumptions, Planning : (1) Statements of conditions accepted as true and that have influence over the development of a system. In emergency management, assumptions provide context, requirements and situational realities that must be addressed in system planning and development, and/or system operations. When these assumptions are extended to specific operations, they may require re-validation for the specific incident. (2) Information accepted by planners as being true in the absence of facts in order to provide a framework or set conditions for variables so that planning can proceed. Assumptions, Preparedness: Operationally relevant parameters that are expected and used as a context, basis or requirement for the development of response and recovery plans, processes, and procedures. For example, the unannounced arrival of patients to a healthcare facility occurs in many mass casualty incidents. This may be listed as a preparedness assumption in designing initial response procedures. Similarly, listing the assumption that funds will be available to train personnel on a new procedure may be important to note
