After Action Reviews

The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.

An After-Action Review (AAR) is a structured post-emergency debriefing process for both groups and individuals, aiming to pinpoint successes, hurdles, and suggestions for improvement. Utilizing diverse formats like individual interviews, group discussions, and online surveys, AARs facilitate comprehensive feedback collection. This process stands as a valuable tool for informing internal planning strategies and enhancing collaboration among stakeholders and responding agencies in preparation for future emergencies.
