Introduction
Emergency services in New Zealand at present cost the countryapproximately $2.5 billion a year. A properly implemented CoordinatedIncident Management System will improve efficiency and effectiveness inmanagement response. It will limit damage to property and, mostimportantly, will save lives.CIMS provides the model for command, control, and coordination of anemergency response. It provides a means of coordinating the efforts of agencies as they work towards the common goal of stabilising an incidentand protecting life, property, and the environment.Many emergencies, from car accidents to large-scale disasters, requirecooperation among several agencies. In an emergency, you and otherpersonnel from your agency may be called upon to help with the response.CIMS can be used for all emergency incidents, from the straight-forwardto the complex. The more complex the incident, the more evident is thevalue in using CIMS.This CIMS manual defines New Zealand's approach to incidentmanagement. It explains the CIMS system in detail and how it can beused to manage diverse incidents.CIMS aims to build a more proactive incident management responsesystem that will increase efficiencies through better coordination of resources. It will also reduce the risk of service overlap and potentialconfusion at emergencies through poor understanding and inadequatecoordination.
