Your Tracks: >Emergency Management & Recovery
| Emergencies can take many forms, including natural disaster such as fire or flood, tragic incidents, or other forms of loss or disruption to people’s lives.
Council works closely with emergency services, particularly Victoria Police, the Country Fire Authority (CFA), and State Emergency Service (SES), and other authorities, such as the Department of Infrastructure and VicRoads to ensure appropriate measures are in place in the event of an emergency.
The emergency management function of Council is undertaken by the Manager, Infrastructure and Assets.
Emergency Recovery
Council works closely with health and welfare agencies and local groups to develop and implement recovery plans, following emergencies affecting local communities.
Council’s Emergency Recovery Plan has become a model for other Victorian Councils. Council staff regularly present the Plan to seminars at the Australian Emergency Management Institute.
The emergency recovery function of Council is undertaken by the Manager, Community Development.
