  • CaptureSit Rep Guide.JPG
  • ANNEX ONE: GUIDANCE NOTES FOR COMPLETING THE SITREP TEMPLATE
    Purpose, audience and completion of the SITREP
    • The primary audience for the SITREP is the SCG itself.
    • Additional audiences will include DCLG Emergency Room, COBR, neighbouring or otherwise affected SCGs and other stakeholders requiring strategic situational awareness.
    • The SITREP will usually be drafted in advance of an SCG meeting, then completed and disseminated up/down/sideways as required following the meeting, with agreed actions.
    • The SCG and its support staff should determine who completes the SITREP. The GLO/GLT will have a role in synthesising strategic information from the completed SITREP for onward transmission to COBR.
    Logic of the template
    • The template is a starting point for situational reporting at the strategic level
    • The template can be adapted if necessary to fit the specifics of a situation
    • Adaptation should not however be done to reflect personal preferences
    Protocols for updating
    • Material that is new or revised since the previous SITREP should be in red text
    • The date/time/source of material should be prominent and clear
    RAG status
    • The RAG status is an honest and defensible appraisal of three dimensions of the emergency: a) the situation, b) the response to it and c) foreseeable developments.
    • Because three dimensions are being combined into a single indicator, and in the absence of a prescribed method of doing so, the RAG status will reflect the collective judgement of the SCG.
    • There is no merit in ‘talking up’ or taking an unrealistically optimistic view of where things stand and how they are projected to develop.
    • Reading the relevant entry should adequately explain the RAG status given.
    • Indicators of the three levels are defined as follows:

    CaptureSit Rep Guide2.JPG
  • Reporting provenance and quality
    • The source/time and assessed quality of information should be clearly and prominently reported.
    • Where critical uncertainties (i.e. factors that are unknown, but which have the potential to strategically alter the situation if they become known) exist they should be clearly identified and associated risks set out.
    Defining concepts and terms for common understanding
    • Where common understanding of a concept or term is necessary for shared situational awareness it should be clearly explained.
    • Common understanding of terms cannot be assumed – terms should be defined
    • Where agreed definitions exist these should normally be adopted and explained (e.g. there is a definition of ‘flood’ in the Water Flood and Water Management Act 2010).
    • Acronyms and abbreviations should be minimised, and always explained at their first use in every issue of the SITREP
