Intra-Action Report: A dynamic tool for emergency managers and policymakers

"In contrast to an After-Action Report, which focuses on recently completed response and recovery for application to a future incident, the IAR is intended for dynamic use to inform and guide ongoing response and recovery efforts, capturing experiences and learning and applying lessons during an emergency that unfolds over a protracted time frame (that is, the IAR is not applicable to an incident for which response requires only hours or days)."
