About this subject

Welcome

This subject involves the development of standard operating procedures, associated training strategies and an exercise, all of which are to be based on the risk assessment/hazard analysis and resulting emergency plan produced during the previous three subjects. The nature of the hazard you identified and the community it impacts on will dictate the style and scope of standard operating procedures, training requirements and exercise that result.

Standard operating procedures detail organisational and individual responses to emergency events and must be supported by appropriate training to ensure effective erformance on the day. An exercise is used to test the whole planning process and identify any shortcomings. This subject is the lead into the more general Year Two subjects that examine emergency management and analyse a specific major emergency event. It is assumed that you will have the skills necessary to read widely in the emergency response area.
