The Framework for Major Emergency Management (MEM) (2006) was devised to enable the Principal Response Agencies (PRAs) – they are An Garda Síochána, the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Local Authorities – to prepare for and make a coordinated response to major emergencies, resulting from local and regional events such as fires, transport accidents, hazardous substances incidents and severe weather. The Framework puts in place arrangements that facilitate / enable the three Principal Response Agencies of An Garda Síochána, the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Local Authorities, to coordinate their efforts whenever a major emergency occurs.
The Inter Agency Emergency Management Office is unique to MEM Region South (Cork and Kerry). The office is funded by An Garda Síochána, Health Service Executive (HSE) South, Cork City Council, Cork County Council and Kerry County Council. The office was originally established to support the Principal Response Agencies (PRA) in meeting their obligations under the COMAH regulations. Since then the role of the office has expended into supporting the preparation of regional emergency management risk assessments and plans, inter agency training / education and other regional functions as set out in the Framework for Major Emergency Management (MEM).
