Deploy

EM: The final D is for Deploy or putting the plan into action.

The EDS happens as planned, with the suggested modifications.

There is informal data collection about, the user experience, messages, messaging, physical access, and accommodations, etc. 

While everything isn’t perfect and there are glitches and phone calls to the Action Team with questions, the EDS is considered a success.

The planners and Action Team keep notes of what went well and what could be improved.

The planners use the information to create an After Action Report draft. Some EDS participants are willing to share their stories in the report. Photos/videos are taken of the EDS site set up and copies of public awareness messages are attached to the EDS plan.

The Action Team reviews and comments on the draft.

The planners are pleased and now want to work with the Action Team to keep updating the EDS plan. The Action Team is pleased because they accomplished something important.

The planners and the Team are starting to develop a long-term relationship.
