Emergency Technology

• Explain the fire engineering and emergency management principles that form the basis for assessing response conditions in building and emergency management law cases.
• Explain and apply methodologies for documenting building and emergency response requirements.
• Document and compare the building law response requirements in relation to the emergency services’ actual equipment and tactics in selected buildings.
• Identify and address operational issues in the event of deviations from the pre-accepted solutions in the technical regulations of the emergency response legislation.
• Describe and apply risk assessment in emergency preparedness law contexts in relation to technical and preventive provisions.
• Analyze the operational capacity of the emergency response in relation to specific tasks, including assessment of scenarios and tactical options and limitations.
• Use of methodologies for identifying and treating relevant local planning and societal risks in relation to emergency response efforts
• Explain the difference between traditional operational tactics (ITT) and non‑traditional operational tactics

The course includes the building code and emergency response legislations, and associated documentation and methodology requirements. The course provides a thorough introduction to case processing, including ATMU (Work Environment, Tactics, Equipment, Training). The course also introduces risk assessment at damage sites as well as emergency response capacity and quality. It also includes principles for extinguishing capacity, including the required amount of water, foam, etc. Methods for damage site investigation and response evaluation (data collection, etc.) are also included in the course. Additional content includes trace preservation, causes of fire, dimensioning of operational conditions (FBIM), rescue tactics, rescue methods, standards (NFPA, BRE, SFPE), fire tests, understanding of and the emergency response team’s interaction with installations. Finally, temporary structures such as scaffolding, stands, tents and site covers are included in the course.
