 Flood Emergency Management Plan                                                                        February 2024

6          FLOOD EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
6.1        Management Approach
As the site will be Community title, it will be a requirement that the body corporate administer the FEMP. This
will involve the following tasks:
      •    appoint a Flood Warden for the site; and
      •    ensure a copy of the FEMP is distributed to all new residents.

As identified above, the site will remain safe for residents and visitors for all storm events up to and including
the PMF. However, the primary strategy for flood emergency management is to evacuate in accordance with
the emergency action plan.

It is noted that the lots are designed to ensure that all habitable floor levels are above the PMF. The likelihood
of damage to property during a flood is therefore low. However, the likely duration of inundation is such that
the preferred emergency action is to evacuate. Residents are unlikely to be prepared to shelter in place for the
length of time required. As part of FEMP training, all residents should be reminded of the likely duration of
inundation and the likelihood of power failure and lack of access to potable water during this time to ensure
that it is understood that evacuation is the preferred emergency management method.

6.2        Roles and Responsibilities
This report recommends that the body corporate assumes responsibility for the monitoring of flood events and
maintains an accurate register of all residents to enable flood warning notifications to be issued to all potentially
affected occupants. The Body Corporate shall appoint a Flood Warden (with a backup) who will be responsible
for directing the FEMP when activated. This position must be held by a resident, to ensure effective direction
during events.

All residents should be aware that the preferred method of risk management is to evacuate in accordance
with the emergency action plan.

The body corporate shall be responsible for the implementation of this FEMP and shall direct the flood warden
to carry out tasks in relation to flood management as required. It shall be the responsibility of the body
corporate to specify any requirements for flood management drills, training or communication with residents,
including advising residents of potential evacuation centre locations should they be required. Flood wardens
shall be expected to undergo regular training sessions in order to ensure that this FEMP is properly understood
and implemented in the occurrence of a significant flood event. Beyond internal training programs for flood
wardens, no formal exterior certification program for flood wardens is required.

It shall be the responsibility of the body corporate to ensure all residents are made aware of the potential flood
risks associated with the proposed development, and any responsibilities that occupants have in relation to
Flood Management. The body corporate shall provide copies of this FEMP to occupants as required.

The body corporate is responsible for ensuring the flood height gauge is maintained and active at all times. It is
envisaged that this would occur via a contract for active monitoring through a third party provider.
