To meet these challenges, Scenic Rim Regional Council annually review and maintain this Local Disaster Management Plan. The focus of the Plan, as required by the Disaster Management Act 2003, is to minimise the effects of disasters or significant emergencies within the Scenic Rim community by ensuring a coordinated, risk management approach involving Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery strategies at Local, District, State and Federal Government levels, along with local emergency services. Whilst as a community, the Scenic Rim region may not be able to prevent disasters or serious event from occurring, we can through effective pre-planning, prepare our community and enhance our resilience to the adverse impact of any threat.

  • SUBMISSION by COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA Capacity Of
    SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA Capacity of Communication Networks and Emergency Warning Systems to Deal with Emergencies and Natural Disasters Inquiry by the Senate Environment and Communications References Committee 21 April 2011 SUBMISSION BY COMMERCIAL RADIO AUSTRALIA 1. Introduction Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Senate Inquiry relating to the capacity of communication networks and emergency warning systems to deal with emergencies and natural disasters. CRA is the peak national industry body for Australian commercial radio stations. CRA has 260 members and represents approximately 99% of the commercial radio broadcasting industry in Australia. The commercial radio industry is keen to offer as much assistance as possible in times of emergency and recognizes its responsibilities as one of the nation‟s major information sources during crises. Broadcast media is the most effective means by which emergency service organisations communicate with the public when critical events occur. Commercial radio plays a particularly important role, as 80% of Australians listen to commercial radio. The local commercial radio stations therefore play a critical role in the dissemination of information to the local community in times of emergency. We set out below a brief outline of the regulation and agreements which detail the way in which commercial radio assists in emergencies, together with examples from recent emergencies of the way in which this operates in practice. We also outline the challenges that stations have faced in dealing with the recent emergencies. 2. Regulatory framework Commercial Radio Codes of Practice The commercial radio industry is heavily regulated by the Federal Government.
