Concept review
In Topic 7 of EMG100 Introduction to Emergency Management you examined the concepts of command, control and co-ordination.
The terms command and control were explained and defined in terms of their relationship to emergency management. You were given an understanding of which organisations would normally provide the functions of command and control and you also carried out a case study to reinforce the concepts of command and control.
Activity 8.1
Without referral to any previous study material and in order for you to refresh your understanding of the terms command, control and co-ordination, I would like you to write down in your own words what you understand these terms to mean:
Command:
Control:
Co-ordination:
I would now like you to review Topic 7 of your previous EMG100 materials and compare the definitions you have just provided with those definitions and concepts discussed in that Topic. If you do not have access to the previous EMG study materials please contact your Subject Coordinator.
