Study Notes
Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme (JESIP)
- JESIP seeks to enhance collaboration among police, fire, and ambulance services to effectively handle major incidents.
- Established to improve communication and decision-making during emergencies, addressing shortcomings identified in public inquiries.
- Emphasizes the importance of rapid decision-making and action in the initial stages of incidents.
METHANE Model
- A structured framework for reporting emergencies that includes:
- Message: Overview of incident
- Emergency: Type of emergency identified
- Tactics: The tactics utilized
- Hazards: Identifying potential hazards present
- Access: How to access the incident scene
- Needs: Resources needed at the scene
- Established: Information on who is in command
Joint Decision Model (JDM)
- A decision-making tool used by emergency services to ensure aligned responses during incidents.
Definitions
- Emergency: A situation threatening serious damage to human welfare or security within a designated area.
- Major Incident: A significant disruption needing coordinated response from multiple agencies.
- Sudden Impact Emergency: Incidents occurring unexpectedly, requiring immediate response.
- Rising Tide Emergency: Emerging situations likely to escalate if not managed effectively.
- Critical Incident: Includes serious crimes and incidents like homicides, firearm use, and hate crimes.
Military Assistance to the Sovereign Base Area Administration (MASBAA)
- Framework for military support in civil emergencies, enhancing resource availability and coordination during critical incidents.
Overall Response Framework
- The response process is structured into phases which include:
- Reaction Phase: Initial response and assessment of the situation.
- Recovery Phase: Post-incident operations focusing on returning to normalcy.
- Adaptability of response plans is crucial to cater to unique circumstances of each incident.
Emergency Response and Recovery Principles
- Emphasizes coherence in multi-agency responses and shared situational awareness to enhance effectiveness during emergencies.
- Flexibility in arrangements allows tailored responses based on specific incident needs.

- Coordination of first responders and incident management.
- Information gathering and decision-making during incidents.
- Continuous communication among agencies to maintain shared situational awareness.
Key Learning and Post-Incident Review
- Conducting debriefs and assessing learning points after an incident helps improve future responses and operational planning.
Documentation and Reporting
- Comprehensive operational reporting forms are critical for documenting incidents, responses, and future improvements.
Event Types
- Categories of events requiring a response may include protests, public gatherings, and critical incidents necessitating significant resources.
