It is also true that you need to remain flexible to adjust what you intended to do with the reality of the situation. The ability to do this though is usually governed by the experience of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) team that is working together.

You start with a good plan, but then remain flexible
"In a crisis, you do what you have to do, but it's better to do what you planned to do."

This is only half or less of the equation. You need to have the staff that are familiar with the plan and then practiced in using it via an active exercise program.
