After Action Review Standard Icon

The After Action Review (AAR) Board provides a structured way to collect, organize, and analyze feedback from incidents or exercises. It helps teams document lessons learned, track corrective actions, and ensure follow-up tasks are completed. This board supports compliance with FEMA’s Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) by standardizing review and improvement processes.

Users can record observations during or after an incident, assign responsible parties for corrective actions, and generate After Action Reports to summarize findings. The board also maintains a historical record for training and future planning.

The After Action Review DS version of this board can be customized in DesignStudio.
