A. TRUE
FALSE
Which of the following is an example of an event at a facility that could make reconstitution necessary?
A. A terrorist attack
An earthquake
A hurricane
All of the above
Which item is an example of a reconstitution implementation requirement?
A. You must instruct personnel about how to return to normal operations.
You must verify that all systems and other capabilities are operational.
You must ensure effective transition or recovery of essential records (and, in fact, all records).
You must conduct an after-action review, identify areas for improvement, establish a CAP, and develop a remedial action plan.
A, B, and D only
All of the above
This reconstitution element requires a reconstitution manager, team members, a working space, information assessments and status, and senior leadership support and guidance.
A. People
Plans (pre-event)
Status
Plans (post-event)
Milestones
Personnel who will be serving on the reconstitution implementation team will be members of the:
A. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Mitigation Assessment Team (MAT)
DERG
ERG
Reconstitution plans require which of the following?
A. Annual training
An exercise program
A backup plan (i.e., a devolution plan)
All of the above
Who is required to exercise the reconstitution plan?
A. All organization personnel
ERG
DERG
Organization leadership
Reconstitution implementation is initiated by:
A. The President
ERG
DERG
Organization leadership
Where will the reconstitution implementation team conduct its work?
A. Primary facility
Alternate site
Another facility
Both A & B
Both B & C
All of the above
Executive branch departments and agencies are the only ones that are not required to develop plans to deal with all three types of reconstitution.
A. TRUE
FALSE
This reconstitution element requires the reconstitution plan to identify key facilities personnel, where important documents can be found, and what resources may be required.
A. People
Milestones
Facilities
Repairs
Temporary Space
Which of the following is a major element of a comprehensive reconstitution plan?
A. People
Facilities
Records
Functions
B, C, and D only
All of the above
Which phase of reconstitution involves validating that full, normal operations are being successfully conducted; developing an AAR/IP and tracking the results in the CAP; reviewing continuity and reconstitution plans; and updating them to reflect lessons learned?
A. Pre-event reconstitution planning
Post-event reconstitution planning
Reconstitution implementation
Reconstitution completion
Which of the following is an example of a disruption that may require reconstitution?
A. A severe storm has damaged the power lines to a facility, causing an outage. Power is not expected to be restored for a couple of hours.
A facility was severely damaged by a tornado, to the point where it could take months to repair the facility and make it operational.
An automobile accident has blocked traffic to a facility, and most of the personnel are stuck in traffic. It could take more than an hour before they get there!
A fire at a building near a facility has caused the road to the facility to be temporarily blocked off. It is expected that the road will likely be opened in roughly an hour.
This will be one of the most critical elements of reconstitution and potentially the most complicated (depending on the event).
A. People
