Hotwash and After Action Report
Notes taken during the response and feedback from the hotwash are documented in an after-action report that details:
  • What occurred during the response
  • Lessons learned
  • Recommended actions
  • Improvement plan
The improvement plan includes concrete corrective actions, which are prioritized and tracked as part of a corrective action program. The improvement plan assigns points of contact responsible for tracking and reporting on their progress in implementing corrective actions.

See EPA's How to Develop a Multi-Year Training & Exercise (T&E) Plan document for an improvement plan template.

Now that the response is complete, Rick would like to determine how well Our Town Utility responded and gather valuable information to begin planning for recovery. Rick and designated utility staff begin the process of conducting an after-action assessment using notes from the incident action plan (IAP) as a primary source of information.

Rick conducts a hotwash with utility staff in coordination with response partners involved in the incident response to determine strengths and weaknesses of the response, lessons learned, and suggested improvements. He also identifies improvements that can be made during the response phase.
