Study Notes
Emergency Response Management
- Emergency response in a particular area is managed by the emergency services using standard command and control procedures.
- For land-based emergencies, the police are responsible for inter-agency co-ordination at the local level.
- The police involve other emergency services, responding organisations, and the district council, as necessary.
- If the emergency is led by an organisation other than the emergency services, the district council takes leadership of the multi-agency response and recovery effort.
- In cases where another responder, such as the Public Health Agency, is more suitable to lead the response, leadership is determined by agreement.
