Working at the Tactical Level of Emergency Management

Unexpected events can occur in all walks of life and can affect businesses, local authorities, hospitals, municipal buildings and local communities, to name just a few; not just those that are regarded as a high hazard or risk businesses or companies.

Being able to plan and prepare for an emergency event can go a long way to securing a situation, preventing loss of life or damage to property, preventing loss of business or allowing a business to continue to run and restoring an incident in the most timely fashion.

This includes making sure that staff have an understanding of the UK’s emergency response doctrine, and that staff allocated to operational, tactical, and strategic response roles have an understanding of what is expected of them.
