COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN (under review).
INTRODUCTION
The City of Monash has a long standing commitment to develop the Municipality as a place where people prefer to live, work and conduct business.
In its Council Plan, Council has defined its vision, service principles, strategic objectives and values which state that it will promote a sustainable, quality environment where the community is actively encouraged to participate in community and civic life to enrich the cultural, social, environmental and economic viability of our City. Inherent in this strategic plan is the need to take a proactive approach to the management of emergencies.
Council has also accepted its responsibility under the Emergency Management Act 1986, as detailed in the Emergency Management Manual Victoria, to identify, analyse and assess emergency-related risks, and develop and maintain a municipal emergency management plan.
In response to the Emergency Management Act 1986, Council developed the City of Monash Emergency Management Manual, which was introduced in 1993.
A Community Emergency Risk Management includes a consultative process to update and review the risks. The aim of the review was to:
establish the existing measures designed to prevent or control considered community risks
identify additional measures which may further protect the community
identify the agency responsible
monitor risks and effectiveness of risk treatment strategies.
The City of Monash Community Emergency Risk Management Plan has been reviewed and updated.
These risks are reviewed on a three year cycle with the view to:
determine that all risk areas are still relevant
identify any new areas of risk to the community
review existing controls recommended
identify new controls to be implemented.
APPENDIX C CITY OF MONASH
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
September 2013 Appendix C - 2
Community Emergency Risk Management Policy
The City of Monash, in planning for the reduction of emergency-related risks, will endeavour to create a safer environment by identifying, analysing and assessing risks and recommending treatment options by application of a community emergency risk management process that employs the generic guidelines in ISO 31000:2009 and is in accordance with Council’s corporate risk assessment worksheet.
This will be facilitated through the establishment of a Community Emergency Risk Management (CERM) Planning Committee. Represented by Council Offices and key response and support agencies within the Monash community.
The terms of reference for the CERM Planning Committee are:
To identify and consider treatment options for risks that have the potential to become emergencies, such as incidents that:
require action from more than one agency,
threaten the people, property and environment, or
have the potential to be protracted or to escalate so as to effect the fabric of the community.
This process recognizes that some areas of risk may be of a high frequency of occurrence yet are dealt with as part of response agencies routine operations. In such instances this risk management plan will acknowledge the controls already in place but will not necessarily impose additional requirements on the agency unless the agency concerned has nominated new controls to be implemented.
The CERM Planning Committee will continually review the emergency risk management process. Results will be presented to the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee for discussion.
Community Emergency Risk Management Process
Community emergency risk management can be divided into three phases, which are outlined in the table below:
Phase One: Policy and Procedures
Development of policies, procedures and terms of reference, as recorded in the City of Monash Municipal Emergency Management Plan.
Phase Two: Hazard Identification
Collect data about the community’s vulnerable elements and sources of risk (hazards).
Identify and analyse risks.
Establish the likelihood of these events occurring, and determine the consequences.
Prioritise the risks.
Phase three: Decision and Treatment
During this phase decisions need to be made about what can be done and how to prevent, mitigate, accept, avoid or transfer risk. The group will recommend treatment options and implement actions.
APPENDIX C CITY OF MONASH
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
September 2013 Appendix C - 3
The risks within the Municipality are listed in Table A. During this review process, the risk rating of each risk was reviewed and amended if the perceived level of risk to the community had changed.
The methodology used by the sub-committee to identify and assess emergency-related risks, is based on the model set out on the next page and follows these criteria:
Review of the risks in the Emergency Management Plan.
A qualitative measure of likelihood.
A qualitative measure of consequence.
The sub-committees then identified existing control measures and produced a set of recommended actions contained within this plan.
This plan may also be reviewed at MEMP Committee meetings. Updates to the plan shall be maintained by the Deputy MERO.

COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
For the control and co-ordination of operations, adequate and reliable communications are essential. Experience has shown that in times of emergencies, an agency’s usual communication facilities, particularly the automatic telephone system, require supplementing. The Council is responsible for the adequacy of its normal communications facilities and for providing for alternative systems to bypass congestion in the telephone network that may occur in an emergency.
The Victoria Police is the primary support agency for access to communications.
2. AIM
To ensure Plans are in place to enable effective and efficient communications systems to be established and maintained during an emergency.
To identify and ensure that all available communications resources are utilised when required.
3. ROLE
To assist and advise agencies to maintain an optimum level of communications capability necessary in times of emergency.
To provide communications and advice on communication issues to the members of the Plan and other support agencies when required.
To ensure communication issues referred to the Committee are resolved.
4 CONVENORS
Co-ordinator Fleet Services
Manager, Information Technology
5. METHODS OF COMMUNICATION
The primary means of communications to co-ordinate mobilisation and response to an emergency is the local automatic telephone network and the mobile network. The primary means of communications to co-ordinate and control field operation is the Council’s own radio communications network.
6. PROCEDURE FOR ACTIVATION
For all low level operations, communications will be activated by the MERO at the request of the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator.
If operations escalate, the MERO is to notify the convenor or members of the Committee to provide assistance in the co-ordination of communications, and may
APPENDIX J CITY OF MONASH
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN
September 2013 Appendix J - 2
request the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator to arrange supplementary or support communications.
7. TELEPHONE LINES
Additional telephones can be provided by Telstra, upon request to the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator, who will in turn submit such request to the Divisional Emergency Response Co-ordinator for action. Such telephones will be connected (subject to line availability) only for the duration the emergency and will be removed at the conclusion of the emergency.
All costs, related to such installations, are the responsibility of the requesting organisation, but may be reimbursed by the State Government, upon application through the Municipal Council.
Applications for such reimbursement will only be accepted for installations authorised in writing by the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator and should be submitted to the Co-ordinator, with all relevant accounts.
8. COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT AGENCIES
TELSTRA
The role of Telstra is:
to respond to approaches from agencies to pre-plan alternative emergency communications to bypass the automatic telephone network
to ensure, during an emergency, in conjunction with the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator, that supplementary emergency communications facilities are provided by WICEN (Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network)
WICEN is an association which, at short notice, can provide volunteer radio operators who are trained in communications and message handling techniques, and are equipped with radio transceivers. WICEN is able to rapidly establish communications systems and has the appropriate paperwork necessary to operate an independent network and can work with any agency.
WICEN is to be activated by the Municipal Emergency Response Co-ordinator or their delegate.
The primary role of WICEN is to provide:
radio communications for and between support agencies
supplementary and support communications to controlling agencies
a service to the community where conventional communications facilities are not available.
