Its important for officials to perform after-action reviews of incidents,
including the use or non-use of public alerting systems.
After-action reviews are the way to learn what worked, and what didn't
work, and to improve the process for the future. Its also important to
share the results of after-action reviews widely. Otherwise, each
locality ends up making the same mistakes and must re-learn the same
lessons.
Localities in the US could learn from the experience in Canada.
Localities in Canada could learn from the experience in the US.
For example, what were the lessons learned from the missing person WEA
alert, not Amber alert, in Las Vegas this week? Or what were the lessons
learned from using WEA for a missing person in Los Angeles also this week?
