AIDR is pleased to launch the Incident Management Handbook. The Handbook forms part of the Australian Disaster Resilience Handbook Collection.
Incident management includes the activities undertaken to:
- prepare for an effective response to an incident
- respond to an incident
- enable an effective transition to recovery.
Having the capability and capacity to respond effectively to incidents reduces the likelihood of incidents escalating into an uncontrolled emergency or crisis. The effective management of an incident can assist in limiting the scale of consequences arising from the incident. Having an effective incident management capability and capacity assists to build the resilience of an entity and the community within which it operates.
Join the Australian Institute of Disaster Resilience for the launch of the new Incident Management Handbook. The Incident Management Handbook is part of the Australian Disaster Resilience Handbooks Collection.
The Handbook presents nationally agreed principles for good practice in incident management. It draws on and complements current good practice and provides guidance to entities in establishing an effective incident management capability.
In this 60-minute webinar we will hear from leading experts and incident management practitioners about implementing the Handbook principles in practice.

Inflight incident management is the simplest form of resilience get it right and you land get wrong and it’s a bumpy ride.
Adapting to unfolding circumstances allowing for the inclusion of as many success factors as possible that’s the premise for the simplicity of IMTs.
Joining the ABC in 2018 pre COVID-19 was just enough time to learn the basics before needing to adapt to keep the show on the air during challenging and unprecedented times.
In the ABC working with creative and artistic people to support entertainment and information whilst ensuring options for plan” B” are always in mind continually pushed innovation and imagination
