EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT<br />
With Australians facing several natural<br />
disasters since the turn of the century, disaster<br />
resilience has become a shared responsibility<br />
between all sectors of society, including all<br />
levels of government, business, the nongovernment<br />
sector and individuals.<br />
The Council conducts risk management<br />
planning to identify potential risks and their<br />
likely consequences. It’s impossible for the<br />
Council, or other levels of Government, to<br />
mitigate all the risks to the community, so we<br />
also plan for disaster recovery.<br />
The Council encourages residents to do their<br />
own emergency planning. Red Cross Australia<br />
has developed an excellent RediPlan brochure<br />
to help families. It’s available on the Red Cross<br />
website or from Council.<br />
Be pro-active, and talk to your family and<br />
friends about being prepared and staying safe<br />
in the event of a disaster. By working together,<br />
we build a stronger community and become<br />
more resilient to disasters.<br />
The Council runs a nationally-recognised<br />
community resilience program.<br />
