Control measure knowledge

Strategic actions

Fire and rescue services should:

Work with others to establish systematic information management systems and embed them in multi-agency emergency management arrangements to enable the right balance to be struck - in particular, sharing information in a way that is responsive to the needs of emergency responders, and is compliant with data protection and other legislation, needs to be thoroughly understood and tested
Establish compatible terminology, abbreviations, communication systems and risk information for joint working with neighbouring fire and rescue services
Ensure that incident commanders are familiar with the responsibilities of other agencies, Category 1 and Category 2 responders and the roles of their representatives that may attend operational incidents – refer to the JESIP publication, Joint Doctrine: the interoperability framework

Tactical actions

Incident commanders should:

Use common terminology contained in the Cabinet Office Lexicon
Be familiar with the responsibilities of other Category 1 and 2 responders and the roles of their representatives that may attend operational incidents
Consider requesting information that may be held by other category 1 and 2 responder agencies
