This is a subset of incident management?

• A. Operational management
• B. Strategic management
• C. Emergency management
• D. Tactical management

Answer: (C)

Emergency management is the broader framework that includes handling all phases of a disaster—planning, prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery—across agencies and communities. Incident management sits inside that framework as the on-scene, coordinated response to a specific incident. Because incident management is the focused, field-level process used during an actual event, it is a component of emergency management. The other terms describe levels or aspects within incident management itself (how the response is organized in terms of strategy, tactics, and operations) rather than a broader domain that contains incident management.
