magnitude, the LDMG may decide to activate its Recovery Group to coordinate recovery operations.
The Recovery Group is likely to be activated in the following circumstances:

   •   An event where significant loss or damage is sustained impacting the community, economy,
       environment and / or the infrastructure of the Noosa Shire Council area.
   •   An event that creates significant disruption to the communities’ connectedness or overwhelms local
       resources or the capacity of the community to cope or recover independently.
   •   An event that the LDMG determines has ongoing impacts and requires a coordinated and collaborative
       multi-agency approach to recovery.
   •   If requested to activate by the DDMG.
