The economic and social effects of emergencies including loss of life, destruction of property and dislocation of communities are inevitable.
Coping with hazards gives our reason and focus for planning. Hazards exist within all communities whether they are recognised or not. Experience shows, however, that good planning for the use of resources in preventative (risk management) activities, in the response to emergencies and towards the recovery of affected communities and environments, can significantly lessen the harmful effects of those emergencies.
Maroondah City Council's Municipal Emergency Management Plan has been produced pursuant to Section 20(1) of the Emergency Management Act 1986. This plan addresses the prevention of, response to and recovery from emergencies within the municipality of Maroondah and is the result of the cooperative efforts of the Emergency Management Planning Committee and assistance from Victoria State Emergency Service Central Regional Headquarters and recognises the previous planning activities of the municipal area.
These plans are currently being updated. If you have any feedback regarding these plans, please email us at maroondah@maroondah.vic.gov.au or telephone 1300 88 22 33 and ask to speak to the relevant plan coordinators.
