I like the part about knowing what you are accountable for...that really gives context to what my action plan is...very different if your a dad with family downtown ....LE or military on duty.
Thanks Cole. The point about accountability changed how I looked at situational awareness--since you can't be aware of everything, what are my true priorities (right now and in this situation)? But they absolutely change depending on the role you're filling at that moment. Thanks for reading!
Great read - we focus so much on information gathering, without asking "okay, now what?". We're working through that in our EOC - why are we gathering this and what are we delivering with it? What is our value-add to this situation?
It's a concept I come back to time and again: awareness is the means, not the ends.
For it to be a worthwhile use of time, energy, and resources, it needs to lead to a decision and action while time is still available. And, to your point, a decision only gets made when someone owns it.
