The second edition was to be written in order to keep both reader and student current in incident management. This was grounded in the fact that incident management systems are continually developing. These updates are needed to ensure the most recent and relevant information is provided to the reader. While the overall theme of the book will remain the same of the first edition, research and research-based case studies will be used to support the need for utilizing emergency incident management systems. Contemporary research in the use (and non-use) of an incident management system provides clear and convincing evidence of successes and failures in managing emergencies. This research provides areas where first responders have misunderstood the scope and use of an emergency incident management system and what the outcomes were. Contemporary and historical (research-based) case studies in the United States and around the globe have shown the consequences of not using emergency incident management systems, including some that led to increased suffering and death rates. Research-based case studies from major incidents will be used to show the detrimental effects of not using or misunderstanding these principles. One of the more interesting chapters in the new edition is what incident management is used around the world.

Emergency services personnel conduct their work in situations that are inherently dangerous. Large incidents such as bushfires, floods and earthquakes often pose hazards that are not fully understood at the time of management, and the situation may be further complicated by the involvement of multiple agencies. To promote the safety of personnel and of the broader community, incident management skills must be constantly developed. Incident Management in Australasia presents lessons learnt from managing major incidents at regional and state levels. It is not an academic work. Rather, it is a collection of stories from professionals on the ground and others who subsequently reviewed the events and gained significant knowledge and understanding through that process. Some stories are personal, capturing emotional impact and deep reflection, and others are analytical, synthesising the findings of experience and inquests. All the stories relate to managing operational events and capture knowledge that no one person could gain in a single career. This book builds on current industry strategies to improve emergency responses. It will assist incident managers and those working at all levels in incident management teams, from Station Officer to Commissioner. It is highly readable and will also be of interest to members of the public with an appreciation for the emergency services.

AIIMS 2017 is the latest edition of the Australasian Inter-service Incident Management System (AIIMS). Endorsed by the AFAC Council, and published in June 2017, it replaces AIIMS-4 as the Incident Control System used by all fire, emergency service and land management agencies within Australia. The new edition retains the set of core principles and the suite of functional sections set out in AIIMS-4, but builds on that edition with expanded guidance on: how the work of AIIMS Incident Management Teams is articulated within the emergency management arrangements at the regional, state and federal levels relief and recovery, and how management of these activities can be flexibly integrated into Incident Management Teams spontaneous volunteers, and how incident management personnel can to safely and effectively manage the community goodwill that they embody. In the context of these improvements, AIIMS retains its emphasis on flexibility, adaptability and scalability, and forms the basis for establishing a common operating picture within an all-hazards-all agencies environment..
