In order to be defined as an emergency, the incident should be one of the
following:
– immediately threatening to life, health, property or environment;
– have already caused loss of life, health, property or environmental
damage;
– have a high probability of escalating to cause immediate danger to life,
health, property or environment
Whilst most emergency services agree on protecting human health, life
and property, the environmental impacts are not considered sufficiently im-
portant by some agencies. This also extends to areas such as animal welfare,
where some emergency organizations cover this element through the 'prop-
erty' definition, where animals which are owned by a person are threatened
(although this does not cover wild animals). This means that some agencies
will not mount an emergency response where it endangers wild animals or
environment, although others will respond to such incidents (such as oil spills
at sea which pose a threat to marine life). The attitude of the agencies in-
volved is likely to reflect the predominant opinion of the government of the
area.
