Overview
Post-crash Emergency Response Toolkit
What is this toolkit?
This toolkit sets out the key elements of effective post-crash emergency response. The toolkit covers:
- reasons for taking action
- the main elements of post-crash response
- examples of best practice
- helpful resources.
Who is this toolkit for?
The toolkit is for all stakeholders with an interest in post-crash response. This includes:
- government departments and policymakers
- local and regional government
- emergency service managers and professionals
- paramedics and community responders
- laypeople and members of the community
- crash survivors, families, and organizations representing them.
How to use it
The toolkit describes basic good practices for organizing an effective post-crash response. It is a starting point for dialogue and discussion, aimed at identifying goals for improving post-crash services. Every country has different structures and challenges,
so the toolkit is not “one-size-fits-all.” However, certain elements of good post-crash response apply everywhere: the need for strategic planning and investment, good coordination, communication, equipment, and training.
