Management
- emergency management is a corporate activityit
- is not superimposed as an ‘add-on’ to service/departmental structures
- planning for, and responding to, emergencies is an integral part of all Service delivery plans
The
Council response to emergencies is based on the
principles of Integrated Emergency Management
( I E M )
- We concentrate on the impact of the emergency NOT the cause
- We respond to support the emergency services in their life saving phase
- we also:
- identify the most vulnerable in the community
- prioritise the services they need
- deliver those services in the most efficient, timely and effective way we can.
