The game plan refers to what?

• A. The plan given to you during the crisis phase outlining the critical steps
• B. A plan for after-action review
• C. A plan for daily operations
• D. A plan for budget allocation

Answer: (A)

The game plan is the crisis-phase tactical plan that outlines the critical steps to take immediately. It focuses on rapid actions, priorities, and sequencing to stabilize the situation, protect people, and control the incident. It guides who does what, when, and with which resources, and it’s designed to adapt as conditions change during the crisis. This is not the plan for after-action review, which happens after the event to assess performance; nor is it the plan for daily operations, which covers routine tasks; nor is it a plan for budget allocation, which deals with funding.
