Emergency planning is often a process and not an outcome or process. It is important and should be the same as the requirements of the resources available and carry out in a way which is timely that avoids delay and procrastination. Emergency plans are pragmatic and also realistic. There is often no reason of making arrangements to utilize resources that are not available and may not be supplied within the right time (Wyse, 2016). This makes it necessary to have plans which considers the capabilities and limitations of response. It is also important to introduce the concept thresholds. The main area where emergency planning is necessary is the local or municipal area. The management of disasters is often local. Owing to the above alluded facts, this writing seeks to discuss emergency situations that may occur during a recovery.

An emergency plan hence should be able to be applied to hazards which are unexpected and anticipated (Alexander, 2016). The emergency situations like in area where a lot of flooding is expected can be a terrorist bomb. This occurred in Italy where limited flooding occurred contrary to what was expected and then a car crush occurred. Shootings and fires can also occur in emergency areas.
