Study Notes

Crisis Management and the Incident Command System

Crisis: Any event leading to an unstable situation affecting individuals, groups, communities, or societies. Often abrupt and with little warning.
Hostage Crisis (Manila): A 2010 incident in the Philippines where a former police officer hijacked a tourist bus. Negotiations failed, resulting in deaths of hostages and the perpetrator. Widely criticized as a poorly handled crisis.
Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan): A 2013 Category 5 typhoon that heavily impacted the Philippines damaging infrastructure and requiring a major response.
Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized approach for managing major incidents, emphasizing multi-sectoral involvement and efficient resource allocation. Crucial in crisis response.
Crisis Management: A process for dealing with crises, including negotiation, understanding terrorism, and managing hostage situations, all crucial phases in responding to crisis.
Crisis Concepts: Crisis is a period of disorganization, defined in terms of its critical or decisive points and also a turning point in the process of an affair or a series of events.

Types of Crises

Man-made: Civil disturbances, strikes, riots, demonstrations, kidnappings, hijackings.
Natural: Fires, floods, earthquakes, tidal waves, marine/air disasters, spills, power failures.
Individual/Personal: Frustrations, conflicts, physical illness, economic hardship, emotional distress, social isolation, moral crisis and psychosexual crisis.
Economic: Deprivation of basic necessities (food, shelter).

Phases of Crisis Management

Pro-active: Planning, organizing, coordinating and controlling actions in response to an anticipated future crisis. Includes intelligence gathering.
Predictive: Gathering information, doing threat analysis of possible threats, and creating contingency plans.
Reactive: The implementation of crisis management contingency plans. Key actions include getting control of the situation, evacuation of non-essential people from the scene, preserving evidence, making sure the perimeter is secure, and taking perpetrator into custody as quickly as possible. All under the supervision of the Officer-in-charge (OIC).
