Disaster Management Role in the community is to:

  • Establish goals, objectives and strategies for risk management
  • Identify hazards and why they occur
  • Evaluate the risks - the likelihood of occurrences, and their consequences
  • Prioritise those unacceptable risks for further action
  • Prepare plans to reduce risk to an acceptable level
  • Monitor and review strategies regularly in order to put these steps in place and make them work.
