Disaster Management

Council Disaster Management is a complex and ongoing process that requires a proactive and integrated approach. It refers to the planning, coordination, and implementation of measures by local government authorities to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters and emergencies that occur within our region.

The primary goal is to protect the lives, property and wellbeing of the community in the face of natural or man-made disasters within our responsibilities under the Disaster Management Act 2003, and other Australian, Queensland and Local Government policies, guidelines and regulations.
