4 Assessment model
The organization should use the assessment model with four levels to classify its emergency management capability (see Figure 2). This is subject to the role, functions, scope and authority of an organization and the operational context. Level 1 represents the minimum level of emergency management capability, while Level 4 represents the highest level of emergency management capability.
At Level 1, an organization performs its emergency management role at a basic level. At Level 2, an organization has established detailed plans with the goal of achieving a balance between resource demands and availability. Plans are developed in terms of the knowledge, skills and capabilities to manage incidents and are updated periodically. At Level 3, an organization has designed an emergency management process to facilitate appropriate measurement and assessment which enables the organization to identify opportunities for improvement. The organization has integrated with other organizations in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency. At Level 4, an organization has reached an optimal level of emergency management capability. Critical to this level of performance is the ability to demonstrate organizational learning, adaptive capacity and effective coordination and cooperation with other organizations. It commits to research and best practice and is able to appropriately use technology.
