The scope on emergency management and complexity in decision-making process

Thematic areas of knowledge
The scope on emergency management decision-making aims to identify the impact of the tasks on the emergency management decision-making scopes CAPACITY, POSITION, MISSION and VISION (See section 1.3.3.3. Scopes in the decision-making process: Capacity, Position, Mission and Vision) and complexity in the decision-making process. This point is not developed further in this guide but is included in the analysis graph proposal and the idea can be developed much further in the future. The thematic areas of knowledge aim to link the tasks usually carried out by fire analysts today to areas of knowledge. The proposed classification is next: ·
Impact of meteorology on fire behaviour (MET): refers to the current and forecasted changes on fire behaviour, not only on-site meteorological variables.
·
Fire positioning (POS): fire perimeter including fire position and opportunities.
·
Fire behaviour (BEH): includes considering fire intensity, rate of spread, spotting, crowning, etc.
·
Fire spread patterns (PAT): refers to the movement of fire.
·
Tactical planning (TP)
·
Strategy and Scenario awareness (SCA)
4.3.2 Description of fire analysis and assessment tasks Next there are key tasks and topics grouped by thematic. The elements are listed increasing in complexity, this is grouping the themes from the simplest to the most complex and is intended to set a possible road for the growth of a FA during the response phase. In the ‘Description of Fire Analysis and Assessment’ section, these topics will be the base for identifying specific FA tasks.
