Effective Briefing Structure in Emergency Response

Implementing IIMARCH Framework for Briefing

As a commander or subordinate commander in emergency situations, having a structured briefing framework enhances communication and coordination. The widely used IIMARCH system provides a comprehensive structure:

Information

Key Details: Communicate what has happened, when, and where:

  • Example: At Kevin Quarry, JCB, a landslide occurred at 12:30 this afternoon, entrapping approximately 50 patients.
  • Current Status: 20 patients evacuated, 30 unaccounted for.

Intent

Mission Statement: Define your objective succinctly:

  • Example: Intent is to triage, treat, and transport all casualties from the scene.

Method

Operational Approach: Outline how the mission will be executed:

  • Establish a casualty clearing station at the quarry head.
  • Utilise land ambulances to transport patients.
  • Evacuate P1 and P2 casualties via Helimed from the helipad; P3 casualties by road.

Administration

Task Assignment: Specify roles, responsibilities, and accountability:

  • Duncan - Primary triage officer, supported by Gary, John, and Paul.

Risk Assessment

Identify and Manage Risks: Address safety measures and protocols:

  • High visibility PPE with role-specific tabards and hard helmets.
  • Entry control system for personnel at quarry base.

Communications

Effective Communication Channels: Establish talk groups for clear communication:

  • Multiple talk groups may include tactical to operational, tactical to control, and logistics.
  • Ensure personnel are aware of assigned talk groups.

Humanitarian Issues

Attend to Welfare and Public Relations: Address staff welfare, media management, and social media:

  • Supporting staff well-being amidst the crisis.
  • Guidelines for media interaction and on-site social media use.

Implementing the IIMARCH framework ensures a structured and effective briefing, enhancing operational readiness and response capabilities in emergency scenarios.
