Tactics, command, leadership

continually assess the situation and requires an insight into the

circumstances concerning ongoing response operations, assistance

needs and emergency preparedness production, as well as informa-

tion on, among other things, road blocks, public gatherings, events

or other types of actual, accepted or planned risk situations, threats

and events which in different ways could affect the probability of

or consequences for an incident or accident.

Turn­out services must be structured so as to function under

almost any circumstances, irrespective of internal or external in-

fluences. This, not least, because it is often under insecure circum-

stances or circumstances that are difficult to ascertain that they

are needed or need to function in. Because of the nature of the

problems involved in protection and rescue, the municipal struc-

ture for providing rescue services is sometimes confronted with

unpredictable situations. Operations must be configured so that

they can deal with any situation that may arise. They must in

the first place be configured on the basis of the assistance need.

Anyone falling victim to an incident or accident needs help from

the municipal structure for providing rescue services, and it is on

the basis of this assistance need that the turn­out service must

adapt and execute its operations.

Turn­out services encompass all the components needed to sa-

tisfy an assistance need, including technology, competence, etc. as

well as command. It is through leadership that turn­out operations

are administered and controlled.
