Section 2.9
2.9    Training & Exercises
In an effort to provide an effective training program, the LDMG works closely with QPS to provide a coordinated
program of training from the Queensland Disaster Management Training Framework (QDMTF).
The QDMTF outlines the core training courses and inductions relevant to the key disaster management
stakeholders to support the effective performance of their role. Exercises will be used to help review the
effectiveness of the LDMP. Exercises can take many forms from simple discussion type exercises to full scale
functional operations.



Section 2.10
2.10 Post Event Processes
Following any exercise or disaster event that impacts the region, a post disaster assessment will be undertaken
by the LDMG. This assessment will consist of “hot” and “post event” debriefs and will culminate in the
development of a post event assessment report. This report should clearly articulate any actions, processes,
equipment, or systems that worked well during an event as well as suggest recommendations for improvement.
Recommendations for improvements identified in post event assessment reports will be tabled for discussion by
the LDMG. Any issue that is identified and not able to be resolved at a local level, will need to be referred to the
Sunshine Coast District Disaster Management Group for advice or resolution. All post disaster review reports
will be forwarded to the DDC as part of standard operating procedure.



Section 2.11
2.11 Continuous Improvement
The LDMG is committed to the practice of continuous improvement which involves disaster management
processes and arrangements being regularly evaluated and improved to ensure they remain relevant, efficient,
effective, and flexible.
