Contrasting performance criteria with competencies ^[2]

Literature-derived performance criteria	Deductively hypothesized competencies
Identification and mitigation of hazards: Hazards related to floods (shock, drowning, explosions) Working around heavy equipment Exposure to biological/chemical contaminants	Identification and mitigation of hazards Knowledge about potential risks and how to mitigate them Skill to perform the mitigation steps
Operation of specialized rescue equipment [hard skill]: Tool operation for rescue (e.g. rope, ladder, power tools) Heavy equipment operations Tools/equipment required for route clearing, power restoration, protective works	Operation of specialized rescue equipment [hard skill]: Knowledge of any provincially led specialist functions Technical knowledge of how to operate specialized equipment Skill to actually perform the operation of that equipment
Intra- and inter-team coordination and management: Working with interdisciplinary teams Fluid communication between teams and managers	Intra- and inter-team coordination and management: Communication skills are clearly essential, both within teams and between various agencies (but precise skills neither identified nor prioritized, for example, conflict resolution, nonverbal coordination, etc.)
Working conditions: Tasks performed under challenging working conditions	Performance under duress: Long hours and challenging conditions demand both physical and mental fitness
