Emergency Management Award
Celebrating the commitment, excellence and innovation the public sector in emergency management
The public sector has a unique, central and broad role in working with the community to prepare for, respond to and recover from all emergencies ranging from natural to manmade disasters. Emergency management engages the full range of functions of government from policy and planning to service delivery, and requires high levels of interdependency and collaboration across and with sectors including all levels of government, business and communities.
This award has been established to highlight and celebrate key examples of excellence in emergency management in the broadest sense. We want to hear about and learn those who work in the public sector at local, state and Commonwealth level who have had to adapt and respond our sustained emergency management challenges.
