Topic 9: Roles and responsibilities
Overview
The determination of roles and responsibilities is essential to emergency management. As we have already seen it is necessary to determine which person or organisation does which task, and to ensure that all tasks are covered. A related area is the management structure for emergency management, and this is covered in Topic 10.
