2015-06-23 I&S Agenda - Item 5 - Local Disaster Management Plan - Attachment 1

   control hazards for which they are responsible, and
   manage the delivery of disaster management functions for which they are responsible.
By agreement lead agencies will make these emergency plans available to the Local Group
to be incorporated within the Local Disaster Management Plan.

4.8.3 Local community disaster plans
In recognition of the size and diversity of the Shire, and in order to mitigate the risk from
flooding and bushfire in particular, the Local Group intends over the life of this Plan to work
with community organisations, local business groups, and others to prepare
disaster/emergency and business continuity plans and strategies for particular high risk
localities and demographic groups within the Noosa Shire.
The LDMG’s initial focus will be to work with:

       local communities, such as Kin Kin, Cooran, Daintree Estate and Pomona that may
        become isolated during flood or fire events
       organisations that care for vulnerable sectors of the community (e.g. aged care
        facilities) through the LDMG Community Welfare sub-committee
       tourism organisations and businesses to ensure that visitors to the region are well
        informed in the event of a disaster
