5.10 Threat specific planning and all hazards arrangements
This disaster management plan is based on the all hazards, all agencies approach which
recognises that although counter measures will often vary with specific hazards, it is
desirable to establish a single set of management arrangements capable of encompassing
all hazards.
However as each type of event will have its own special requirements, to aid response for
extreme or high risk hazards some additional threat specific plans have been included in this
disaster management plan as follows:
Appendix C.1: “Wildfire threat specific sub-plan”
Appendix C.2: “Cyclone, east coast low and severe storm threat specific sub-plan”
Appendix C.3: “Flood threat specific sub-plan”
Appendix C.4: “Hazardous material incident threat specific sub-plan”
