March 26, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba Regional Council has moved its Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) to “Stand Up” status, the same level as the South Burnett, Cherbourg and Gympie LDMGs.<\/p>\n

LDMG chairman Paul Antonio said the group had previously been on “Alert” due to COVID-19 but felt it was necessary for the change in status.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation has changed dramatically over the past few days and it\u2019s important we respond accordingly,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt we’re facing a global health and economic crisis that we\u2019ve never seen before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this is uncharted waters for us here in the Toowoomba Region, and worldwide, I want to assure you that we\u2019re focussed on looking after the people of this community in this time of need.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is a time for everyone to come together to support each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also crucial all of our emergency services and all government levels unite in times like this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to the LDMG moving to Stand Up status, the Local Disaster Coordination Centre (LDCC) is at “Lean Forward” and Council has implemented a dedicated Incident Management Team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LDMG is a multi-agency group that provides strategic direction and communication during times of disaster for incidents affecting the region,\u201d Mayor Antonio said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is then the role of the LDCC to work with stakeholders to undertake the operational aspects which have been outlined by the LDMG.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the type of virus we are facing, the LDMG will work remotely via telecommunication channels.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point in time the number one priority for us is to provide appropriate responses to threats and risks to secure community safety and well-being.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to reiterate how important it is for everyone to continue following the Federal and Queensland Government for updates and advice surrounding the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had floods and fires and managed to come through these events so I have no doubt we can again get through this together as a united region.\u201d<\/p>\n

NB. There are four LDMG levels<\/a>: “Alert”, “Leaning Forward”, “Stand Up” and “Stand Down”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
