Tasmanian Emergency Management Training-TasEMT

TasEMT is a resource to enable people with emergency management responsibilities to increase their capability and capacity to be proficient during the All Hazards phases of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery-PPRR.

INSTRUCTIONS

TasEMT introductory modules directly align with each of the PPRR phases and with your role and responsibilities as an emergency management stakeholder.

The Tasmanian Emergency Management Arrangements-TEMA provides a map which displays Tasmanian Municipal Councils and Regions which you should familiarise yourself with, as this is how we coordinate and oversee the management of emergencies that affect each of the regions in Tasmania. The map below is a simplified version displaying the  Division of Emergency Management regions.
