Practice Note - Sourcing Supplementary Response Resources

This Practice Note assists councils in clarifying the policy and procedures governing the sourcing of supplementary emergency response resources from other municipal councils. It brings together existing direction and information from the Emergency Management Act (1986) and the Emergency Management Manual Victoria (EMMV). The definition of municipal resources is detailed and the role and responsibilities of the Municipal Emergency Resource Officer (MERO) is clarified. The practice note is endorsed by the Office of the Emergency Services Commissioner (OESC) and the Victorian Police.

It is recommended that this Practice Note be discussed at Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committees (MEMPC) level and local supplementary resource arrangements reviewed.

Practice Note - Operation of a Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre

This Practice Note provides best practice advice and guidance to municipal councils and emergency management practitioners on establishing and operating a Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre (MECC). It aims to provide a level of consistency in MECC operations within Victoria, the benefit of which is to enable municipalities to assist each other in emergency events when required. The information contained within this Practice Note is based on the collective experience of many councils that have experienced emergencies.

These Practice Notes can be found under Publications in the Resources section below.
