Draft Emergency Risk Management Report
The process of Emergency Risk Management aims to reduce the potential effects of emergency events through a comprehensive approach of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
All Local Government areas are required to use emergency risk management processes in developing and reviewing emergency management arrangements for their communities. This is to be undertaken through the Local Emergency Management Committees (LEMC)m for which Councils have the responsibility to provide executive support, to prepare and maintain Emergency DISPLANS and other documentation, to provide public education and to provide assistance during emergencies.
Tenterfield Shire Council has engaged the services of Echelon Australia Pty Ltd to facilitate the development of the Emergency Risk Management (ERM) Plan in conjunction with LEMC. Events that cause disruption and damage to communities may occur at any time and without warning. The ERM Plan addresses those events that can be expected to require significant, co-ordinated, multi-agency response.
