8. History of Major Disasters & Incident Preparedness Cont….
Failings in risk assessment and appropriate prevention mechanisms.
Lack of joined-up planning.
Poor inter-agency co-operation, collaboration and command and control
Response deficiencies in handling casualty enquiries, communication procedures, providing material and psychological welfare to survivors and relatives.
Our study of major incidents around the world has lead us to develop bespoke Crisis Management Systems
- Stephen Johnson

9. Introduction to Crisis Management Systems
BE WARNED…..
There is a tension between planning for a crisis and dealing with a crisis. The more elaborate the plan, the more likely it is to be ignored!!!!
We need living, workable plans that link Operational Procedures to the training of our personnel.
OUR PEOPLE ARE THE KEY!!
