Information Management 1

This session aims to equip students with essential knowledge about mobilising and radio communications in emergency situations. By the end, students will be able to describe the four phases of connection in an emergency call, detail the allocation of fireground radio channels, identify situations requiring intrinsically safe equipment, and recognize when precautionary use of radios is necessary. The importance of safe communication during emergencies will be emphasized, alongside understanding the specific radio channels used on the fireground and the safety measures necessary in hazardous environments.
