| Disaster Risk Management Centre | Disaster Risk Management Centre | | | <p>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: </p><ul><li>DOC and Systems Integration and Special Projects </li><li>Special Planning and Critical Infrastructure</li><li>Training and Capacity Building: Corporate, Commerce and Industry </li><li>Training and Capacity Building: Community and Volunteer Management </li><li>Public Awareness and Preparedness </li><li>Logistics Planning and Fleet Management </li></ul>
| | <p>The Disaster Risk Management Centre (DRMC) identifies, prevents or reduces the occurrence of disasters and softens the impact of those that cannot be prevented. </p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p> | <span>
