Activity 10.2
I would like you to consider the hazard(s) that featured in your risk assessment/ hazard analysis undertaken in EMG101. Identify who would be the lead combat agency for each hazard, and also specify which other support organisations feature and the role that they are expected to perform.  To do this you will need to contact senior personnel in each of the relevant organisations.  These people will need to have the appropriate authority to provide you will the correct detail.  You will also need to ask these people if there is any legislation that details which organisations have which responsibilities and the structure of the emergency management arrangements.
It is quite usual for there to be legislation which defines the roles and responsibility of the emergency services and also some other departments.  But one of the difficulties that sometimes arises is that different organisations have their own specific legislation, often enacted at different times. This can sometimes lead to an overlap in responsibilities because of a lack of wider understanding of roles and responsibilities and a lack of coordination between agencies when determining and writing legislation.  When you check through the existing legislation make a note of any conflicts that you identify.
