Response Principles                                     The LDMG will:

                                                        •   Activate early to prepare and to plan for the response and
                                                            coordination of disaster operations
                                                        •   Work closely with the responsible lead agency and the DDMG
                                                            to manage and coordinate disaster operations
                                                        •   Provide warnings, alerts and public information early and
                                                            consistently to the community or those who need it
                                                        •   Ensure disaster response and recovery operations are
                                                            coordinated
                                                        •   Ensure resources are accessed and used effectively
                                                        •   Provide support to meet community needs
                                                        •   Provide situational reporting.


                                                        The LDMG will ensure the responsible lead agency is supported
                                                        by the disaster management system during their response to
                                                        an event. The responsible lead agencies for each hazard can be
                                                        found in the State Disaster Management Plan – refer pg. 47-50.
