Get Ready Week 2021/22 – View Council’s Local Disaster Management Plan and Sub Plans
South Burnett Local Disaster Management Group’s (LDMG) new South Burnett Local Disaster Management Plan (SBLDMP) and sub plans were adopted at the General Council Meeting on Wednesday 25 August 2021
by South Burnett Regional Council.
The Disaster Management team and LDMG recently embarked on a journey to redevelop the South Burnett Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) to deliver a modern, informative, understandable, succinct and useable plans. The LDMP is now located on Council’s website. The new LDMP and sub plans meet the requirements of legislation, regulations, guidance and frameworks associated with the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements (QDMA).
Our plan consists of disaster management philosophy which embraces prevention, preparedness, response and recovery procedures. It identifies strategies for disaster resilience and supports the Get Ready Queensland and Get Ready South Burnett messages.
Every region is susceptible and at risk of local and major disaster events. Our plan provides Council the arrangements to ensure there is an effective and coordinated response to a disaster event, and to facilitate a speedy return to a safe and secure environment as soon as possible after that event.
This supports the primary focus shared by all of the agencies involved in this plan - to reduce the loss of human life, illness or injury to people, property loss or damage, or damage to the environment that results from a disaster.
