EM-Powering Communities Through Emergency Management

Welcome to the WALGA Emergency Management ToolBox. The Toolbox has been designed to assist elected members and Local Government employees to come to grips with their emergency management responsibilities. When used in conjunction with the Local Government Emergency Management Workbook, and accompanying CD ROM the Toolbox will enable you to gain underpinning knowledge relating to all facits of emergency management in Western Australia. The knowledge gained will assist you and your Local Government to plan for emergencies in your community, plan for recovery after emergencies or disasters, conduct risk analysis and plan mitigation strategies.

WALGA would like to acknowledge the following agencies who kindly assisted in the production of this toolbox:

• EMA (Emergency Management Australia)
• SES Tasmania
• Local Government Association of Tasmania
• WALGA EM Working Group
