A Disciplined Approach to Emergency Response

The process known as "A Disciplined Approach to Emergency Response" was developed to help protect lives, property and the environment in an efficient manner during response to an emergency incident. Although the process was developed specifically to aid response to incidents involving hazardous materials / dangerous goods, the principles involved can be applied effectively to most types of incidents. 

Some of the benefits of using the Disciplined Approach to Emergency Response while responding to an incident are:
  • It provides a data gathering and decision making process to aid responders in handling emergencies in a logical and methodical manner
  • It provides a common process to assist responders with different backgrounds and training to focus on effective incident analysis and management
  • It provides a process to facilitate management by objectives within an incident management system
  • It provides a checklist to ensure important aspects of a response are not overlooked

A web site www.DA2ER.info has been established to provide additional information and training resources on A Disciplined Approach to Emergency Response.

we currently do not have a formal process but look to the development of an accepted standard as we update our emergency plans.
