mand. This framework includes the aim of the operation, time,
resources and geography. Within the framework, operational
command decides upon the goal of the operation and the measu-
res to be applied. It then allocates tasks to and coordinates the
organisational elements.
The municipal structure for providing rescue services has received an alarm
concerning a fire in a flat and is implementing an emergency response
operation. There are several casualties at the incident site and a considerable
need for assistance. The medical service has also been called out and is
attending to a number of casualties. Consequently, at the same time as
this is a rescue service operation it is also a medical service operation. The
different organisations cooperate and create the conditions for executing
their respective operations.
