APPLYING LAWSON'S MODEL OF COMMAND AND CONTROL TO SLOVENIA'S RADIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROTECTION UNIT

In the past two decades, the importance of crisis and disaster management has really come into the focus of interest, not only in the field of security, but also in the psychological, socialpolitical, and technological-structural professions, since they are important forces in the creation and management of a safe environment. The term “command and control” has become a common term in the vocabulary of security forces. This process of command and control is sometimes seen as an information processing chain, due to data flowing between the environment, commander’s forces and the command center. One such model, whose roots stem from this belief is Lawson’s Model of command and control. Civil Protection in Slovenia encompasses bodies of command, units and services of protection, rescue and relief, protective and rescue gear and objects, as well as devices for protection, rescue and relief. One of such units is the Radiological, Chemical and Biological (RCB) Protection Unit, which is organized on the national, regional and municipal level. This paper describes the work of the chosen unit through two case studies: flood and massive vehicular accident, which are both common occurrences in our chosen municipality, Postojna. In these case studies Lawson's command and control model is applied, as well as the process model using USE CASE notation.
