Tactics, command, leadership
Emergency response operations are complex. The work in connection

with emergency response operations must be based on the need for

assistance. There are resources available which must be managed

and applied expediently. Decisions must be based on solid evidence

and take into account resources, damage, injury, the object and the

assistance need in general. Making them demands knowledge and

experience. The purpose is to meet the needs for assistance resulting

from incidents or accidents, or the impending danger of such.

Tactics, command, leadership presents, discusses and exemplifies

the experiences of municipal rescue services and the results of scien-

tific research from many different perspectives. This book is princi-

pally aimed at management staff in municipal structures for

providing rescue services. It is primarily oriented towards education

activities within rescue service agencies but is also applicable to

active rescue service personnel and other interested parties.
