hotwash is an "immediate after action" discussion and agency performance evaluation (or multiple agencies) after a training session, training session, or big event, such as Hurricane Katrina.
The main purpose of a hotwash session is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a response to a particular event, which then leads to another phase of government known as "lessons learned", which are intended to guide the direction of future responses to avoid repetition of mistakes made. in the past. Hotwash usually includes all parties participating in an exercise or response activity. These events are used to create the After Action Review.
Hotwash is a term taken in recent years by the Emergency Preparedness Community, possibly as a result of Homeland Security and the involvement of other government agencies in disaster planning. It serves as a post-disaster briefing form for all involved to analyze what works well, what needs to be improved, which person or institution needs to be responsible for the improvement, and the tasks and timetables for corrective and proactive corrective recording to be in place.

Origin
The term hotwash is from the US Army:
The term Hot Wash comes from exercises used by some soldiers to spray their guns in very hot water as a tool to remove sand and residue after being fired. While this practice does not mean eliminating the need to break the weapon properly later to be cleaned up, it removes the main debris and ensures the cleaning process runs more smoothly. An infantry soldier described it as "a quick and dirty cleaning that can save a lot of time later.
It is also commonly used in the Coast Guard and other marine sailing services to illustrate the use of fine water spray mist and lubrication to prevent corrosion in helicopter turbines operated in highly salted marine environments.
