MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is inviting all community members to contribute their ideas, insights and experiences to help shape a Community Disaster Resilience Plan. This Plan will identify local strengths, needs, and priorities when it comes to preparing for emergencies and disasters on the Mornington Peninsula.
The Community Disaster Resilience Plan will guide how we support the community to prepare for:
- Clear communication during emergencies
- Plan and prioritise emergency preparedness activities
- Assess the impact of our actions and improve future responses.
The Plan will also focus on reducing disaster risk and strengthening protective factors by:
- Leading change and coordinating preparedness through strong networks and partnerships
- Educating and engaging our community about disaster readiness
- Empowering individuals and communities to take action and build local resilience.
