Parramatta. Review of disaster plan

Parramatta City Council is working in partnership with key stakeholders to review and update its Disaster Mitigation and Recovery Plan. Council will work with a wide range of stakeholders including the police, fire brigade, ambulance service, SES and local hospitals to ensure that they understand their role when it comes to assisting people during and after a crisis. Some of the key areas that will be reviewed include the appropriate evacuation procedures and assembly centres, the emergency operations centre, the responsibilities of key agencies and the means of communication with affected community members. As part of the plan, building owners and tenants will be informed about their responsibilities in both evacuation and general building emergency management.
