We partner with states and territories to help their communities affected by disasters.
States and territories take the lead in disaster preparation, response and recovery.
Our approach is:
- led by state and territory governments
- informed by communities
- facilitated by the federal government.
Our Coordination and Planning Officers (CPO) are based in metro and key regional locations. They:
- provide a permanent jurisdictional engagement capability across all Australian states and territories
- strengthen situational awareness, information sharing and whole-of-government coordination before, during and after crisis events
- maintain trusted relationships with state and territory emergency management stakeholders and help connect them with Australian Government capability and support.
