T.I.M.S.

Thailand Incident Management System

Command – Control – Coordination – Communication

The manual explains the functions and processes of the four critical elements of incident control and the responsibilities and tasks of the entire Incident Management Team

• Incident Control
• Incident Operations
• Incident Planning
• Incident Logistics

The concepts and procedures in the manual are derived from the best working practices and policies of similar systems worldwide and then adapted accordingly to suit the local environment, existing working practices and cultural aspects of Thailand
The response to emergencies is increasingly becoming one of a Multi-Agency practice and this in itself can add to confusion and mismanagement at an incident. The manual therefore also sets out to provide practical guidance to enhance the ability of all emergency services to work together with clearly defined roles, aims and objectives.
