Utilizing Local Assets in Emergency Response
Identifying and Mobilizing Local Resources
When managing an incident, it's crucial to leverage local resources effectively. Here's how you can utilise available assets:
Locally Available Resources
Control Room Assets: Identify and utilise resources readily accessible from your control room:
- Voluntary Organisations
- Mountain Rescue 4x4 Clubs
Civil Contingencies Unit
For Protracted Incidents: Engage with the Civil Contingencies Unit for additional support such as shelters and specialised equipment.
Coordination and Communication
Establishing Contact: Maintain a comprehensive contact list of various services and organisations for quick mobilisation:
- Ensure you have access to contact numbers and capabilities of each organisation.
- Utilise the National Interagency Liaison Officer (NILO) for national and local asset coordination.
Dynamic Resource Management
Real-Time Decision Making: Adapt to changing incident dynamics by:
- Assessing needs and requesting appropriate resources promptly.
- Considering response time and capabilities when mobilising resources.
Example: Utilising Mutual Aid
Effective Deployment: Coordinate mutual aid responses based on:
- Response time estimates and operational capabilities.
- Strategically allocate resources to support core ambulance services or major incident response.
By effectively utilising local assets and coordinating with relevant organisations, incident commanders can enhance response efficiency and resource allocation in dynamic emergency situations.
