28. Culture of Disaster Response
We must be individually and organizationally flexible
We must be individually and organizationally prepared
Auxiliary members must recognize that being denied deployment to the primary event is not a rebuke of their offer, but rather the recognition that a volunteer is to be valued and not placed in harm’s way.

29. Response Consistent, capable response requires:
assessment of Auxiliary capability and CG needs
effective communication with CG, local leaders and Auxiliary members
integration of CG and Auxiliary planning
frequent drills to test the plan

30. Contingency Planning Goal of Auxiliary Planning:
Achieve a plan that is reliable, flexible and scalable
