South Burnett Regional Council has taken the opportunity of\u00a0Get Ready Queensland Week (October 10-16) to remind residents about the\u00a0South Burnett Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP).<\/p>\n

The new plan and related sub-plans were adopted by Council in August.<\/p>\n

They explain in great detail the processes that Council would undertake in the event of a disaster unfolding in the region.<\/p>\n

“(Council’s) Disaster Management team and the Local Disaster Management Group recently embarked on a journey to redevelop the South Burnett Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) to deliver a modern, informative, understandable, succinct and useable plan,” a Council spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“The LDMP is now located on Council\u2019s website. The new LDMP and sub-plans meet the requirements of legislation, regulations, guidance and frameworks associated with the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Our plan consists of disaster management philosophy which embraces prevention, preparedness, response and recovery procedures.<\/p>\n

“It identifies strategies for disaster resilience and supports the Get Ready Queensland and Get Ready South Burnett messages.<\/p>\n

“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 co-ordinated response to a disaster event, and to facilitate a speedy return to a safe and secure environment as soon as possible after that event.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n
