Data Quality Statement - Dataset - Victoria SES Authorised Activities, 2013 - 2014
Institutional Environment: Data collector(s): Victoria State Emergency Service Collection authority: Business requirements Data compiler(s): Victoria State Emergency Service Additional information: N/A Relevance: Data topic: "This dataset details the number of incident responses attended by Victoria SES as an ""Authorised Activity” within the financial year 2013 - 2014. ""Authorised Activity"" responses are those in which Victoria SES participates in pre-planned events such as community education events, fund-raising events, public relations events and rescue standby events. Participation at these pre-planned events can have a standing authorisation or require pre-determined risk-based authorisation. This dataset provides monthly ""Authorised Activity"" response totals for the financial year 2013 - 2014. For each response a Victoria SES crew was dispatched. Tasks may or may not have been subsequently been undertaken in relation to each dispatch. The figures preclude multiple crew attendances at any one incident."
