Activity 8.4
Read
Reading 8.1:	Extract from Emergency Services Act 1976, Tasmania.
Reading 8.2:	Extract from Emergency Management Plan, Municipality of Dorset.
Reading 8.3:	Extract from Northern Region Emergency Management Plan.
Reading 8.4:	Extract from Tasmanian Emergency Management Plan.

Please study these extracts paying particular attention to the Command/ Control aspects contained within.

The above readings have provided you with a number of examples of how the command and control structure for emergency events has been organised within Tasmanian Local Government, Regional and State arrangements. The plans are dated, but the command and control concepts, principles and arrangements are still very relevant.
Let us recap:
•	Go back to the beginning of Topic 7 of this subject, where you reviewed hazards and examined the occurrence of each hazard within your community. 
•	Open up your Activity 7.1 Table and examine the hazards you identified. 
We will now extend this exercise and using the Activity 8.4 table below, from the list of hazards you provided in Activity 7, identify:
•	which organisations would respond or provide support to the occurrence of each hazard,
•	which organisation is designated as the controlling authority for the response to the hazard and
•	where such control function is stipulated i.e. legislation, plans, agreements etc. 
Once again, after completing the table save it to your Learning Portfolio.

This particular extract discusses how the coordination of agency and organisational response was managed during the Clapham Rail Crash in London on the 12th December, 1988. This section of video continues on from that used in Topic 7. It is not provided as a way of explaining how things should be done, but provides an example of how this particular event was managed and also provides some examples of the advantages that resulted.
