While a drill or incident is in progress, you may notice situations that were overlooked or could use improvement in other ways. These issues, as well as issues noticed after the incident has ended, can be flagged for review during the Recovery phase.
More issues can be added or edited, and action items can be created to address the issues. When action items are attached to issues, the system sends an email notification to the people assigned to resolve the item. A notification is also sent if the assignment is removed. Action items can be added from the Incident Dashboard or from the Recovery: Improvement Plan page, either during or after an incident.
