11. Incident command organisation
( Based on Incident Command System )
INCIDENT COMMANDER
Operation Planning Logistic
-Damage control - Situation - Communication
Administrator
(e.g fire fighting) analysis - HR
- Legal
- Rescue - Records -ECC
- Procurement
- Evacuation -Documents - First aid
-Recovery
-Traffic control - Strategy -Transport
- IT
11
12. TASK OF THE INCIDENT ORGANISATION
• Identify level of emergency response
• Coordinates response action, evacuation, continuity and
recovery activities.
• Ensure outside assistance are notified or called upon.
• work with external agencies.
• Complies with appliance statutes or regulations.
12
13. INCIDENT COMMAND OPERATIONS TEAMS
• Depends on the organisation, activities and products. For
example:
Most organisations will need a team of :
- Fire fighter
- Evacuation rescuers
- First aiders
Hazardous chemical plant
- Chemical or oil spill team
Process plant
- Shut down team
- Rescue team
13
14. EMERGENCY PLANNING
• Thread and Hazard identification
Use imagination, think of the unexpected
• Assessssment of emergency scenario
Also impacts beyond control such as:
-Regional communication loss and national power
outage.
- Transportation disruption ( floods, broken bridges )
• Plan for Emergency Mitigation, preparedness,
response and recovery.
14
15. TYPES OF POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Natural events
Storms, earthquakes, flood, etc
• Technology events
-Mechanical problems ( e.g ruptured pipes, metal fatigue ) Chemical
spills, aircraft crash, fire ,explosion
• Human events
-Wrong valve open, miscommunication about what to do
- Sabotage, terrorisme
15
16. HAZARD CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS – For Emegency
And Recovery Plans
• what hazard are most likely to occur
• What functions or ervices are affected
• in what way the functions could not be perform following a
disaster.
• What are the critical functions.
• What actions will protect them.
• What functions has to be restored quickly.
16
17. POTENTIAL IMPACT OF HAZARD
• Health , safety and environment
-Person in affected area.

emergency response can be verified according to the severity of the
incident.
18
19. RECOVERING STRATEGY
• Objectives : Restor functions as early as possible.
• Redundancy or alternatives arranged for identified critical functions.

- e.g recovery manager and
team, communications, utilities, purchasing, Hr and site security.
19
20. MITIGATION MEASURE
• Interim andlong term- to eliminate or reduce impact of hazard that
cannot be eliminated.
-Access, escape routes and shelters
- Early warning – Establishment of hazard warning and
communication procedures.
- Materials – removal , reduction, modification, segregation, or
elimination.
- Heat, fluids. Etc protective system, redundancy, control, of rate of
release.
- Structures- building construction standards
