Police, fire and ambulance services need interoperable arrangements to manage major or complex incidents successfully and to meet legislative requirements. -- ----------- **JESIP** -- ----------- **2.1** The need for a joint response is not new. The findings and lessons identified by public inquiries and inquests have highlighted cases where the emergency services could have worked better together and shown much greater levels of communication, co-operation and co-ordination. Applying simple principles for joint working are particularly important in the early stages of an incident, when clear, robust decisions and actions need to be taken with minimum delay, in an often rapidly changing environment. The Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme (JESIP) was established to address this deficit. JESIP provides agreed joint working practices to improve the way the police, fire and ambulance services work together when responding to incidents. These principles provide an overview of how the emergency services would respond to the consequences of a civil emergency and will act as a framework to be used for the: - - **2.2 METHANE Model** **2.3 The Joint Decision Model (JDM)**  - INFORMATION - INTENT - METHOD - ADMINISTRATION - RISK ASSESSMENT - COMMUNICATIONS - HUMANITARIAN ISSUES -- ----------------- **Definitions** -- ----------------- **3.1 Emergency:** An event or situation which threatens serious damage to human welfare in a place in the SBA, the environment of a place in the SBA, or the security of the SBA or of a place in the SBA. **3.2** **Major Incident:** **3.3** **Sudden Impact Emergency:** ##### **3.4** **Rising Tide Emergency:** **3.5** **Critical Incident**: - Homicides - Serious sexual offences - Firearms incidents - Hate crimes - 4.

This common framework contributes to a cohesive multi-agency response and good shared situational awareness. The response to and recovery from any emergency or major incident needs to be managed flexibly depending on the circumstances. Emergency Response and Recovery guidance outlines eight principles that underpin this response and recovery process. - [Reaction] - [Rescue] - - [Recovery] - Relief - Remediation - Regeneration **5.2** **Reaction phase** - Completing a [METHANE](https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/civil-emergencies/civil-contingencies/command-control-and-coordination/#methane-situation-report) report - Coordinating initial reports - Declaring a major or critical incident, when appropriate - Activating the response framework and/or [local emergency plans](https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/civil-emergencies/civil-contingencies/planning/#lrf-deliverables) - Activating notification cascades to relevant people - Establishing a [command and control](http://library.college.police.uk/docs/APPref/Model-Response-Structure.pdf) structure (multi-agency, where appropriate) for the incident - Establishing an airwave communications interoperability plan - Activating [command support](https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/operations/command-and-control/command-support/) functions - Identifying and deploying resources - Identifying safe and suitable rendezvous points - Considering initial health and safety guidance for responding personnel - Declaring a mobilisation - Containing measures to prevent escalation of the incident - Implementing business continuity management plans, if required - Consideration of public safety and health **5.2.1 Police Command and control room** - Facilitate the deployment of first responders - Gather information about the incident using [METHANE](https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/civil-emergencies/civil-contingencies/command-control-and-coordination/#methane-situation-report) - Advise and support first responders where necessary - Declare a major or critical incident, or determine if one has been declared - Advise partner agencies that a major incident or critical incident has been declared - If appropriate establish a three-way conference call with the fire and ambulance control rooms to ensure shared situational awareness - Activate force [response](http://library.college.police.uk/docs/APPref/Model-Response-Structure.pdf) plans and contingencies - Establish contact with the initial on-ground commander - Facilitate a forward command post - Facilitate a command structure - Maintain a communications log which includes event information and health and safety risk assessments - Consider the possibility of the incident involving hazardous or CBRN materials. ##### **5.2.2 Initial responders:** - - - - - - ### **5.2.3 Securing the scene:** - - - - - **5.3** **Rescue phase** - - -
