Homework 9
Letter to the Public
In the movie Margin Call, the firm has a “fire sale” when they sell their majority holdings in mortgage-
backed securities in a single trading day. Though they are able to rid the firm of most of their exposure
to these “toxic assets,” they do so at a great cost. As Sam Rogers (played by Kevin Spacey) explains, they
destroy the market “for years” and knowingly “put people out of business, full stop.” As the CEO, John
Tuld (played by Jeremy Irons), must communicate his decision to his employees, the other Wall Street
firms, and the public. Write an open letter (to be published in the Wall Street Journal) both explaining
your actions and justifying them. Your purpose is to persuade your readers that your decision was
correct, inevitable, and unavoidable. Group Project
Emergency Preparedness and Response Planning Exercises Tornado Scenario
No location specifiedyou may use any venue you wish
Part 2
Scenario:
D. Longer-term Recovery
(2 Weeks after the tornado)
It is now 2 weeks after the tornado. The building has been repaired and cleaned up, and the
affected production equipment has been repaired or replaced. Production is pretty well back to
normal, with both shifts working. However, it seems that some customers have reduced their
orders to the company and a few stopped ordering entirely. The marketing staff and sales staff
feel as if they are struggling.
The stock price is still down; some important shareholders have complained that the company
didn’t seem to handle the response and recovery smoothly, and they weren’t able to get good
information in the aftermath of the disaster.
The information technology group is pretty burned out because one problem after another
cropped up and procedures weren’t documented or understood. The database for the
administrative systems finally got restored from a 3-week old backup, and then clerical staff
from the finance and human resources area tried to re-enter the missing data manually. The
telecommunications staff had to troubleshoot and finally replace network gear that was acting
flaky, possibly because of the lightning strike. Morale in IT is not good.
After-Action Review
Within 6 weeks after the incident, an after-action report needs to be submitted to the MAC
Group.
TO DO: Collaborate and Report
The team of emergency response leaders needs to perform an after-action review of all the
areas (including the roles covered by the SimCell). Consider these questions:
1. List things that did not go well in each phase and speculate on the root causes of why
there were problems.
2. What things were done well in each phase? Speculate as to why.
3. What mitigations can be put in place to prevent or minimize problems in the first place?
4. What preparations for response and recovery need to be implemented?
Fill out the template for Part 2 of your report. The end of the template has a place to list your
references used in both Part 1 and Part 2, an appendix for any optional additional information
you would like to include. The end of the template also has the Statement Attesting to Original
Work with a place for signatures for everyone in the group.

Also: Stay in your roles as members of the Incident Command System structure; do not do an
after-action review of the classroom group. HSMN 630 Study Group
Tornado Team Alpha
Part 2: After-Action Review
Combine this report with the Part 1 report. This is more of a group effort, but each person must identify his or her contributions.
What Did Not Go Well
List things that did not go well and speculate on the root causes of why there were problems for each phase. Identify both the phase (Initial Response, Short-term Recovery, Business Resumption, Longer-term Recovery) and the area where the problem occurred; e.g., All departments, Human Resources or Sales. Also list who identified the problem; the person who identifies the problem may be from a different department.
