This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct biosecurity emergency response planning and to contribute to outputs (e.g. incident action plans, resourcing requirements and tracking, operational situation reports, maps and status boards) produced by personnel with responsibility for the outputs.

This could be part of a continuous activity with a daily, weekly or longer cycle. Individuals working within any functional area within a Control Centre or Forward Command Post undertaking emergency response planning tasks as part of a team, will typically work under supervision.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
