ISO 22320 is an international standard titled Security and Resilience — Emergency Management — Incident Management — Guidelines. It provides organizations with guidance on how to prepare for, establish, and operate effective incident management arrangements during emergencies and disruptive events. The standard focuses on command and control, coordination, communication, and information management to ensure incidents are handled in a structured, consistent, and efficient manner, particularly when multiple teams or organizations are involved.
Why ISO 22320 is important:
- Improves coordination and control
It establishes clear command structures and coordination mechanisms, reducing confusion during complex or fast-moving incidents. - Enhances communication and information flow
The standard promotes reliable information sharing and situational awareness, enabling better decision-making under pressure. - Supports responder and public safety
Clear roles, responsibilities, and procedures help protect responders and affected people during emergency situations. - Reduces incident impact and recovery time
Effective incident management minimizes disruption, limits damage and supports faster stabilization and recovery. - Strengthens organizational and multi-agency resilience
By providing a common framework, ISO 22320 helps organizations and partners work together more effectively across different types of emergencies.
