All incidents are managed under the Australian Inter-service Incident Management System (AIIMS). AIIMS provides a structure of clear delegation to ensure that all management and information functions, including incident control, operations, planning and logistics, are adequately performed. AIIMS also provides for the command and coordination of multi-agency incidents. CFA brigades in outer metropolitan Melbourne are dispatched via a computer- aided dispatch system. Planning is currently underway for the computer- aided dispatch of brigades in country locations. |
