ׁ REMEMBER. The threat summary produced at the end of Stage 1 should be reviewed any time there is a change in the available information. If this results in a change in the threat assessment, it should be recorded and reflected in an amended clearance plan.
2.2.1. STAGE 1 – TASKING AND DESKTOP STUDY
TASKING
It is the responsibility of the NMAA to ensure a tasking order is given to an MA operator that falls within their capability. If no NMAA exists then an international agency may act in its stead, or in extremis the MA organisation may need to self-task based on engagement with the affected community and in line with its own mandate and capabilities. MA operators may have different capabilities, and this may affect which organisations are best suited to different types of tasks and the specific challenges that they represent. For example, a critical infrastructure site such as a water purification facility, with obvious hazardous chemicals or materials, will require different equipment and staff competencies to that of clearance of open agricultural land. The MA operator, NMAA and other stakeholders should make sure that the tasking process takes this into account.
