Description
Emergency services organisations are designed for quick response to sudden natural and manmade catastrophic events. In the light of heightened global awareness of the need for improved organisational sustainability, there is an increasing social requirement to ensure that all institutions can demonstrate an appropriate level of resource usage. In this paper, the Authors use a ‘weak’ definition of sustainability, in particular, the ‘eco-sustainability’ concept developed by Ball and Milne (2005) to examine a single case study of the State Emergency Services (SES) Australia, using Content Analysis research techniques.
