CIMS
Coordinated Incident Management System
Incident defn (CIMS)
Most are emergencies but also non emergencies, such as large public gatherings and event. Incidents range from small to large; simple to complex; and can be managed at one or multiple levels.
Purpose of using CIMS
Achieve effective coordinated incident management across responding agencies by 1 establishing common structures functions and terminology used by agencies yet within a framework that is flexible modular and scalable so it can be tailered to circumstances, 2 enable agencies to develop their own processes procedures and training for the execution of CIMS.
Emergency defn
situation that poses an immediate risk to life health property or the environment that requires a coordinated response.
4 components of emergency mgmt (R’s)
Risk reduction
Readiness
Response
Recovery
When is CIMS applied (which of the 4 components)
Response. Therefore must be factored into readiness. Can also be used during recovery.
CIMS principles
Common structures, roles, responsibilities Common terminology Modular and scalable - flexibility Responsive to community needs Integrated response coordination Consolidated action planning Integrated information management and comms Resource coordination Designated response facilities Manageable span of control
CIMS divides tasks and responsibilities into 7 functions. What are they.

Incident Management Team includes; (3)
Response Mgr
Technical experts with knowledge relevant to the incident

Scaling responses - considerations (3)
Safety of response personnel
