SCOPE: Floods have been identified in the Community Emergency Risk Register in the Municipal Emergency Management Plan as having a high risk. Consequently this plan has been developed. Emergency planning is undertaken at a state level, regional level and a local level. This plan is for the local level only. The plan outlines arrangements for the prevention of, preparedness for, and recovery from flood emergencies within the Campaspe municipal area but primarily covers the response to flood emergencies. REFERENCES: These are listed in Appendix “G”. AUDIT: This Flood Emergency Plan is a sub-plan of the Northern Victorian Integrated Municipal Emergency Management Plan and therefore is subject to the audit provisions of Section 20A of the Emergency Management Act 1986.
