A. TRUEFALSE Which of the following is an example of an event at a facility that could make reconstitution necessary? A. A terrorist attackAn earthquakeA hurricaneAll 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 onlyAll 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. PeoplePlans (pre-event)StatusPlans (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)DERGERG Reconstitution plans require which of the following? A. Annual trainingAn exercise programA backup plan (i.e., a devolution plan)All of the above Who is required to exercise the reconstitution plan? A. All organization personnelERGDERGOrganization leadership Reconstitution implementation is initiated by: A. The PresidentERGDERGOrganization leadership Where will the reconstitution implementation team conduct its work? A. Primary facilityAlternate siteAnother facilityBoth A & BBoth B & CAll 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. TRUEFALSE 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. PeopleMilestonesFacilitiesRepairsTemporary Space Which of the following is a major element of a comprehensive reconstitution plan? A. PeopleFacilitiesRecordsFunctionsB, C, and D onlyAll 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 planningPost-event reconstitution planningReconstitution implementationReconstitution 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. PeopleMilestonesFacilitiesRepairsTemporary Space Annual training is required for ERG and DERG members on all reconstitution plans and procedures. A. TRUEFALSE When implementing reconstitution, the focus should be on deliberate planning, or “smooth transition.” A. TRUEFALSE New facilities reconstitution is best described as: A. The process of returning to full operations at temporary (possibly distributed) facilities, with the expectation of moving to new or repaired facilities when they can be made available.The process of restoring full operations at permanent replacement facilities.The process of returning to full, normal operations at the original (possibly repaired) facility. This section provides information on the core of the reconstitution plan and should provide or reference details and checklists to facilitate getting the job done: A. Executive SummaryChapter 1, IntroductionChapter 2, PlanningChapter 3, Reconstitution ImplementationChapter 4, Reconstitution Training and Plan Management It may be necessary to defer on deciding the complete make-up of the reconstitution implementation team until the situation can be fully assessed (post-event). A. TRUEFALSE This section should identify who is responsible for TT&E: A. Executive SummaryChapter 1, IntroductionChapter 2, PlanningChapter 3, Reconstitution ImplementationChapter 4, Reconstitution Training and Plan Management Which phase of reconstitution begins with conducting an assessment of the situation in order to identify how much damage has been done; if personnel should return to the original facilities or stay at the new; and if there is a need to replace staff? A. Pre-event reconstitution planningPost-event reconstitution planningReconstitution implementationReconstitution completion Obtaining leadership approval of the plan is one of the goals of the pre-event planning team. A. TRUEFALSE Which phase of reconstitution involves developing an all hazards reconstitution plan, obtaining approval of the plan, and conducting training and exercises for the plan? A. Pre-event reconstitution planningPost-event reconstitution planningReconstitution implementationReconstitution completion Communication and implementation of the plan is performed by the reconstitution implementation team. A. TRUEFALSE Although departments and agencies should identify a reconstitution manager to plan and manage day-to-day reconstitution activities, ultimate responsibility goes to senior leadership. A. TRUEFALSE Primary facilities reconstitution is best described as: A. The process of returning to full operations at temporary (possibly distributed) facilities, with the expectation of moving to new or repaired facilities when they can be made available.The process of restoring full operations at permanent replacement facilities.The process of returning to full, normal operations at the original (possibly repaired) facility. A biennial exercise for ERG members is used to determine their familiarity with reconstitution procedures. A. TRUEFALSE The reconstitution planning team should include members from areas including, but not limited to: senior leadership, facilities/logistics, IT, communications, human resources, operations, and security.
