National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines Project
The
National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines Project is a key step in the
Implementation Plan for the National Risk Assessment Framework that has
been developed to meet the outcomes sought by Reform Commitment One (RC1)
from the Council of Australian Governments’ (COAG) report on natural
disaster mitigation, relief and recovery in ‘RC1 - ‘develop and implement a five- year national program of systematic and rigorous disaster risk assessments’ RC1.. The objective of the project is to develop risk assessment guidelines which will assist practitioners at all levels of government to undertake risk assessments that support the National Risk Assessment Framework. Extensive research and stakeholder consultation will be undertaken in order to develop effective, robust guidelines. The project will include an evaluation from states/territories following the completion of draft guidelines to ensure that the final product is comprehensive, functional and suits their needs. The main outcomes and expected benefits for this project are: · Safer sustainable communities through better planning using systematic and rigorous disaster risk assessments · A greater integrated and comprehensive understanding disaster risk assessments to enhance emergency preparedness. · Consistent, interoperable, measurable disaster risk assessments across all jurisdictions. · Improved understanding of world’s best practice with respect to risk assessment Further information on the National Risk Assessment Framework and other project documentation can be accessed by selecting the links below.
