I don't think SACFS compromise safety, but the negligence of brigades and groups compromises safety.
In 1994 Risk and Response planning was introduced across the service, including brigade, group and regional response planning, including contingencies.
In 1999, just prior to the 2000 NYE and Y2K, again a new model for brigade and group response plans were introduced and many, many brigades did them, due to fears Y2K may actually happen.
In 2003 the latsest Brigade, Group and Regional Response Plan proformas were produced - all Brigades and Groups needed to do was fill in the blanks, not a had task at all, all the hard work, planning, formating and alike was done.
The relevance - all of these plans have included response plans (resources required, moved etc) for brigades that incorporate change of quarters, ensuring that we are not negligent and do leave coverage in our primary areas of responsabilities.
Therefore - who is compromising who?
