California Critical Incident Management: Three Primary Issues
The objective of this work is to research California OES recommendations for emergency responses by local law enforcement and to follow links to the Federal Government level. This work will examine the three most important issues raised in the research. Toward this end the "California Critical Incident Management: OES Law Enforcement Guide to Emergency Operations -- Redbook" has been reviewed and critically examined.
An analyses of any type of procedural information relating to emergency response operations requires identification of the primary processes that have been integrated into the process to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in service response to an affected region. This too is the case for California Law Enforcement emergency response in the State of California.
Communication
Noted first in the review of the "California Critical Incident Management: OES Law Enforcement Guide to Emergency Operations -- Redbook" is the factor of 'communication' processes that are integrated into this operation manual for emergency response of law enforcement personnel in the case of some disaster or other emergency producing event. The word 'communication' is stated 120 times in the critical incident management guide and each time it is stated...

II. Designated Hierarchy of Agency Roles and Responsibility
Clearly the designation of the hierarchy concerning the roles and responsibilities of the various levels that local, state and federal agencies represent is of primary importance as this theme is interwoven throughout the content of the critical incident 'Redbook' for the State of California law enforcement agencies. However the word 'role' is stated only seven times and there is good reason that this is the case. It is stated on page 27 that Unified Command is characterized by its high flexibility because "As the incident changes over time with different disciplines moving into primary roles; the Unified Command structure and personnel assignments change to meet the need."

National Incident Management System Theoretical Analysis of National Incident Management System (NIMS) The Federal Government established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive number 5 in February 2003. The Secretary of Homeland Security played an important role of developing and administering national incident management system. NIMS provide a reliable and consistent approach to responding to all forms of incidents irrespective of size and scope (Walsh 2012). The
Introduction to the Incident Command System (ICS) The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standardized organization model or method for incident response and management during disasters. The system is made up of standard management and leadership hierarchy procedures, including processes meant to support various types of incidents. It does not just respect jurisdictional and agency authority, but also supports synchronized efforts among different disaster response and management teams and agencies. ICS
To avoid all these hassles, corporates should take the lead. They should ensure that the environment is not harmed in any way and people are treated with respect and dignity without exploiting the people or the environment in any unfair way. Such initiatives get publicity too and this has a positive impact on the company's business interests. Therefore, technology has been another driving factor that induces companies to take the
Role of National Strategies in Emergency Operations Plan Emergency and disaster planning is a process that entails development of a cooperative, coordinated process of dealing with urgent situations using available resources. Generally, this process is exploratory in nature and culminates in development of a plan that offers general procedures for management of unforeseen impacts. According to Alexander (2015), emergency planning basically entails preparing systematically for probable contingencies in the future such
Loss of local control in emergency management is a legitimate concern. Yet access to state and federal resources is critical for effective emergency response. The most effective emergency response involves carefully coordinated roles between local, state, and federal agencies. Local agencies are always first responders, and therefore have a great deal of authority and responsibility in emergency management. States may have significant resources and distinct responsibilities to work with local
It was then important to see the degree at which technology and training played a role in combating each fire. 1.2.4.Rationale of the Study What is that can be gained from this study? The reasoning behind such a study is born out of a need to provide better training for fire fighters so that fire management systems will improve and reduce the amount of loss due to the fire. By studying
