PRIORITY A

OBSERVED OR DETECTED

Absolute priority, abandon all other actions.

• Situation Unit staff advising Planning Officer of potential Red Flag situation and seeking a second source of intel as confirmation before advising on actual Red Flag situation. PO to immediately discuss with IMT.
• On confirmation the PO is to immediately meet with the IMT and declare the current IAP suspended and switch the Incident Objective to protecting life and, if it is safe to do so, property.
• It is essential that no backburns be lit, as these add to the event.
• The situation must be carefully monitored
