Over the course of the last four weeks, we have reviewed the AAR of the 2017 Hurricane Season and focused on Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery relating to a particular active hurricane season impacting the United States in 2017. The AAR identified critical elements for improvement to better prepare for future, multiple impact disasters or of a large scale. Reviewing AARs is a critical element in improving the disaster planning cycle while giving the emergency management practitioner beneficial experience. Discuss your key observations relating to each critical element (preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery), and your recommendations for improvement
