In response to the events that have taken place at CVN, the senior management of the company has hired you as an external crisis management business continuity consultant to assist the CVN Crisis Management Team going forward. In this capacity, you have been asked to prepare a 1500 word report that covers the following areas:

The lessons that you and the company have learned from the simulation exercise. Describe the thinking or reasoning that went into managements decisions for addressing each of the crisis events
Areas where you might have responded differently. Please indicate how and why. Also, describe other aspects of a response/management plan not included in the simulation that you would have implemented.
During the simulation exercise, CVN was confronted with two significant events; the first involving an occurrence of violence in the workplace, and the second a heat wave. Perform a mini Hazards and Vulnerability Analysis (HVA) to identify the other potential threats confronting CVN. Make sure that you include an assessment of the probability and impacts associated with each threat.
Now that you have identified the potential threats and their associated impacts, take this a step further and identify some steps that CVN can take to mitigate the threat of a significant event. Specifically, what are the controls, agreements and enhancements that CVN should consider implementing? Make sure to balance your recommendations with some cost/benefit analyses.
Your recommendations to CVN’s Senior Management going forward. What type of organization, processes and plans should be implemented to allow CVN to better respond to and recover from future incidents?
