Disaster Risk Management Centre
What we do
The Disaster Risk Management Centre (DRMC) identifies, prevents or reduces the occurrence of disasters and softens the impact of those that cannot be prevented.
We also facilitate the coordination, integration and efficiency of multiple emergency services and other essential services to ensure that these organisations work together, both pro-actively through risk reduction, planning and preparedness; and reactively through response, relief, recovery and rehabilitation.
It is the DRMC’s responsibility to prepare and execute the City’s Municipal Disaster Risk Management Plan. The City’s Municipal Disaster Risk Management Plan is driven by a Disaster Coordinating Team (DCT), which is a multi-disciplinary team that executes contingency plans. In the event of a disaster or a large scale emergency, the DCT assembles in the Disaster Operations Centre (DOC), and acts as a central information point to communicate swiftly with the public during emergencies.
We include
The DRMC is organised and structured into the following portfolios that focus on reducing the risk of disasters, preparedness, rapid and effective response to disasters and post disaster recovery:
- DOC and Systems Integration and Special Projects
- Special Planning and Critical Infrastructure
- Training and Capacity Building: Corporate, Commerce and Industry
- Training and Capacity Building: Community and Volunteer Management
- Public Awareness and Preparedness
- Logistics Planning and Fleet Management
