What are the 4 cs in emergency management?

Answer 1

The four c model in emergency management is for Coordination, Collaboration, Cooperation and Communication. This model is an important aspect of managing disasters, crises and major events. Coordination allows all personnel and agencies to effectively work together even though each entity may have a different way of conducting operations. Collaboration allows all agencies coordinating together to work for the same objectives - in emergency management, these objectives often follow a three phased goal of life safety being first, scene stabilization being second and property protection being third. Cooperation is simply an act and entities cooperating with one and other while working towards that common objective. Finally communication... Communication is often seen as a cornerstone of emergency management - entities must be able to properly communicate with one and other and in an effective and critical manner otherwise a disaster can lead to failure in the end. Two great resources to learn more about how these four steps are effectively used in emergency management is the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS).
