(2) CC: Communications center. (3) TC: Telecommunicator. (4) IAW: In accordance with. (5) Alarm processing begins when the alarm is answered by the telecommunicator, includes interrogation of the caller, and ends at the beginning of ERF/ERU notification.

[1221:Figure A.7.4.1(b)] Annex B Risk Management Model This annex is not a part of the requirements of this NFPA document but is included for informational purposes only. B.1 This model is used as an example of how a communitywide risk management plan can be utilized to protect both citizens and property. While NFPA 1720 is scoped strictly to focus on deployment, staffing, and service levels, the realization is that this is one component of a total community fire protection planning process. An AHJ can determine that other components could reduce the risks of fire and therefore adopt stronger building and fire prevention codes, enforce those more vigorously, and enhance their public life safety education components. These models are included for that purpose. Figure B.1 illustrates a fire department process map. B.1.1 This annex addresses the need for fire departments to develop an overall "defense-in-depth" strategy for the delivery of fire services. The development of such a strategy should include an assessment of the tools available to the fire service for accomplishing the goals of fire safety. B.1.2 Fire safety objectives can be defined as those ideas that a department aspires to deliver. For example, fire department objectives could include such statements as "Maintain injuries and life/property losses as low as reasonably achievable (community and department)." The accomplishment of this objective should not be left to fire-fighting operations alone. See Figure B.1.2 for fire safety concepts.  FIGURE B.1 Fire Department Process Map.
