ASC: Review of MEMP
Alpine Shire Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) have been working on a review of the Alpine Shire Municipal Emergency Plan (MEMP) ready for Assurance.
The goal of municipal emergency planning is to complement, and support emergency planning strategies developed at state, regional and national levels by providing local knowledge and expertise and documenting capacity and responsibilities within a defined municipal space. The preparation of a MEMP involves identifying and mitigating the risks specific to our geographical area, outlining capability and capacity of local agencies, and documenting relief and recovery strategies that can be delivered at a local level to help communities to become safer and more resilient in the face of an emergency.
The MEMPC would appreciate feedback from interested members of the community. Please direct any comments or feedback to Karen van Huizen at EM@alpineshire.vic.gov.au by 16 September 2024 so that we can proceed with having the MEMP assured.
Please distribute to your networks so we can work together to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities, and to recover from emergency events.
