The Direction, Control, and Coordination element of NFPA 1600 requires establishing procedures for assigning functional responsibilities to specific organizations within the entity. While responding to hazards, risk assessment, and disseminating information may be part of the overall emergency management plan, they are not specific to this element. Using only CERT members for recovery efforts is also not specified in this element.
