Why do we need JESIP?
The findings from a number of reviews of major national emergencies and disasters made clear that the emergency services carry out their individual roles efficiently and professionally.
JESIP commissioned a review of 32 major incidents from 1986 to 2010 (the Pollock report), which found some common failures in joint working. The JESIP models and principles were designed to address these issues:

Challenges with initial command, control, and coordination activities on arrival at scene
A requirement for common joint operational and command procedures
The role of others especially specialist resources and the reasons for their deployment, not well understood between services.
Challenges in the identification of those in charge at the scene leading to delays in planning response activity.
Misunderstandings when sharing incident information and differing risk thresholds not understood.
We need to ensure that our initial multi-agency response to all incidents is better organised, structured and practised. The responder organisations need to ensure they constantly update their working practices and learn from events of the past together and not just in isolation.
The Aim of JESIP
JESIP should be applied by all responder organisations, at every level, when preparing for and responding to incidents. It should also be used during the recovery phase
The aim of JESIP is working together, saving lives and reducing harm. This is achieved by improving interoperability between responder organisations through the use of simple models and principles.
The application of these is particularly important in the early stages of an incident, when clear, robust decisions and actions need to be taken with minimum delay, often in a rapidly changing environment
JESIP should be applied at all types of incidents, regardless of the size and complexity
