Abstract:
Proactivity is now a common approach in many government activities, and the emergency management strategies that have been adopted in this State have for many years been an excellent example to other States of the effectiveness and benefits that are derived from proactive emergency management.
The Lifelines Projects have been another example of Tasmania leading the nation in the application of a planning process that investigates, identifies and reports on the critical infrastructure dependencies within our major cities. The Lifelines Projects methodology is one of fostering liaison between organisations and applying a planning process that results in the identification of opportunities to reduce risks to critical community infrastructures or lifelines. The Projects would not be possible without considerable support from many organisations, all of whom are recognised within the report. The challenge now is to use the information obtained through the process to reduce the potential impact of emergency events on our community. | |||
