TASMAN MUNICIPAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Tasman Emergency Management Plan is issued under the authority of the State Controller, in accordance with the requirements of Section 34 of the Emergency Management Act 2006 and is maintained by Council. The Plan was issued 10 December 2020 and has now been endorsed by the State Controller.
Tasman Council has an integral role in emergency management. It has resources that may be directly utilised, has access to other resources within the community and to vital information that will be required when responding to and recovering from an emergency.
The objectives of this plan are to record:
- Roles and responsibilities related to identified hazards and emergency management functions
- Current arrangements for Prevention and Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery
- Identify opportunities to reduce risks to the community
