Q

Explain key terms C & C

A

Control operates horizontally, and Command is vertical within one agency BUT when a CONTROLLER is appointed they are in control of the INCIDENT.

The CONTROLLER can only COMMAND staff within their own agency. Although they do not command staff in other agencies they CONTROL the incident.

The COORDINATION comes when C & C is COMMUNICATED to all responders, and their agencies by GIVING taskings that are completed correctly and in a timely manner!
