Defining a Major Incident
- Methane vs. Ethane: Differentiate between major incident standby and declared scenarios.

- Required Emergency Services: Specify needed resources such as medical teams, specialist units, and tactical support.
Preparation and Collaboration
Understand the importance of pre-planning and collaboration between site managers and emergency services for effective response.
Site-Specific Preparedness
- Site Mapping: Utilize detailed site maps to facilitate access and egress planning.
- Communication Alignment: Ensure health and safety managers align with emergency responders on procedures and terminology.
- Verification and Adaptation: Confirm initial reports and adjust strategies based on evolving information.
Challenges in Initial Reporting
