How the Environment Agency classify incidents?
The Environment Agency’s involvement and input during similar incidents is extremely important. Communicating early, accurate and up-to-date information to their duty officer can enable informed decision making and result in a much quicker response. It is important at this stage that incident scene attendees begin to collate information which is likely to be required by the Environment Agency. Through the Environment Agency establishing early direct communications with the incident scene, their potential questions/queries can be answered without their physical attendance. This will shorten the incident timeline significantly, considering the potential travel time the Environment Agency representatives may need in order to attend the scene.
