Checklists for different scenarios

[Lightspeed]

I get what you're saying Steve.

Plans are plans, and check lists support those plans.

Highlander brings up a reality that nothing goes exactly to plan in an emergency.

For our group we try to make plans that are flexible enough to meet many potential scenarios.

Your point about checklists is a good reminder. Lists for various scenarios are a good idea to ensure that all resources available are directed at the scenario or group of scenarios that are being encountered.

A simple example is to develop a checklist for summer and winter car kits and GHBs: The lists will evolve over time as the kit is perfected. The list is a record of gained experience that I used to ensure that nothing is forgotten when the seasons change.

Thanks for the reminder

PS,

I think our friend Northern Raider works on this principle. He is able to lay his hands on lists for almost any scenario at a drop of a hat.

The secret is to make lists your friend, and not your master of course. Flexibility, adaptability and improvisation will always be crucial.
