The drills assume that all departments will effectively coordinate during an actual flood, yet they overlook potential communication failures and resource limitations. Inference: The effectiveness of these drills hinges on the assumption that personnel will perform as trained under real pressure, which may not hold true in chaotic situations. Without testing these assumptions in varied scenarios, the drills may not fully prepare the teams for unexpected challenges.
