"The Lessons Learned Information Sharing (LLIS) program team identifies common themes from whole community after-action reports (AARs) and presents them in a trend analysis for emergency managers to consider when developing plans and exercises. For this analysis, the team analyzed federal policy guidance, 25 AARs (21 exercise and 4 real-world), and the 2013 State Preparedness Report (SPR) data.
