Since the introduction of Australasian Inter-service Incident Management System (AIIMS) as a system for managing emergency incidents by wildfire control agencies, all agencies have worked actively to establish, train and develop effective Incident Management Teams (IMTs). Ensuring that IMT members understand their role and the critical reporting relationships and interdependencies within the team has lead to the development of training programs, exercises, regular briefings and professional development activities for these personnel usually on a multi agency basis.
Research found in this area of this site examines management of wildfire (bushfire) incidents.
