Fire service needs planning for politics and administration
Training on fire department needs planning for politics and administration
The creation of a fire department needs plan (also known as a fire protection needs plan, needs and development plan, or emergency response needs plan) is legally required in several federal states. Furthermore, needs planning for municipal fire departments has become established throughout Germany, even without a specific legal obligation.
A fire department needs plan defines the requirements for the fire department, analyzes existing structures, and derives the necessary measures. In addition to the fire department, administration and politics also participate in needs planning. It is not uncommon to have to reconcile different expectations, requirements, and areas of conflict.
Needs planning is not pure mathematics; the needs and appropriate equipment of a fire department cannot be calculated using a simple formula. To properly consider all interests within the tension between safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness, a basic understanding of the essential principles of needs planning is of great importance.
The seminar conveys the elementary requirements for fire department planning (fire department needs plan / fire protection needs plan / emergency response needs plan / etc.). Necessary analyses are covered, as well as municipal dependencies and design options for planning principles and protection goals. You will learn pragmatic and proven approaches for dimensioning a needs-oriented and efficient fire department.
The expertise gained during the seminar will enable you to provide comprehensive and requirement-oriented support for your municipality’s fire department needs planning in the future.
