This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to manage emergency operations, usually within a single agency command context.

Emergency operations are usually the result of an event such as a flood, storm or bushfire that generates a significant response requirement over a large area for protracted periods of time. Operations such as this differ from incidents where relatively small responses are required in tightly defined areas for relatively short periods of time such as a road accident.

The unit is applicable to personnel who act as operational managers during emergency operations.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
