What is this about?
The Community Based Emergency Management Overview provides key information for communities and organisations to better understand, participate in and further develop a community based approach. It aims to guide people to build on combined strengths, by working together to identify local priorities and develop mutual goals and solutions.
This includes building relationships and using locally tailored processes for communities, emergency management agencies, government, business, industry and non-government organisations to participate in decision making processes that affect them.
