Community Emergency Management
Emergency management is a collective effort involving all levels of government, emergency services and the community.
Councils contribute by reducing local risks, supporting state emergency arrangements, providing community information and assisting with recovery after an incident.
The State Emergency Management Plan (SEMP) articulates the roles and responsibilities that Local Government may play in local emergency management planning. As well as the legislative and administrative roles under the SEMP, the Local Government Emergency Management Framework (LGEMF) 2019 sets out roles for councils in the areas of disaster risk reduction, incident operations and recovery.
