Scene management

At the scene of most emergencies, a cordon will be established which for a period may prevent you returning to your home or office. Cordons will vary in size dependent on the nature of the emergency and are established to enable the emergency ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ to work at the scene by:

  • preventing unauthorised access
  • protecting the public
  • protecting those working within the cordon
  • preserving the scene for evidence/investigation
