Correct answer: D — Establish co-location, shared situational awareness and joint coordination in line with the principles for joint working.

The principles for joint emergency services working emphasise co-location of commanders, communication, co-ordination, joint understanding of risk and shared situational awareness. Operating in silos is a recognised cause of failure at major incidents. No single service simply takes over the others; they coordinate through agreed command structures.
