2.2    Definitions
All hazards approach
The all hazards approach concerns arrangements for managing the large range of possible effects
of risks and emergencies. This concept is useful to the extent that a large range of risks can cause
similar problems and such measures as warning, evacuation, medical services and community
recovery will be required during and following all emergencies.

All agencies approach
All agencies should be involved to some extent in emergency management. The context of
emergency management for specific agencies varies and may include:
    • Ensuring the continuity of the business or service
    • Protecting their own interests and personnel
    • Protecting the community and environment from risks arising from the activities of the
       organisation
    • Protecting the community and environment from credible risks.

Community
A group of people with a commonality of association and generally defined by location, shared
experience or function.
