Fire leaders redeem the Five Communications Responsibilities to enable everyone at all levels to develop good communications practices.
- Brief—use briefings to ensure accurate situation awareness.
- Debrief—use After Action Reviews to build accountability and learn from experience.
- Acknowledge and understand messages—acknowledge and ensure clarity of received communications on conditions, assigned tasks, intent, and other important information.
- Communicate hazards to others—use hazard identification, a key component of risk management, to identify personal, tactical, situational, political, or organizational hazards. Good leaders ensure that team members are vigilant for hazards and communicate identified hazards effectively.
- Ask if you don’t know—guard against making false assumptions when the picture is not clear.
