The Victorian Preparedness Framework (VPF) identifies the core capabilities and critical tasks Victoria requires to effectively manage major emergencies. To be effective, the 21 core capabilities are interdependent, co-ordinated and overlap across EM phases.
The following tables map the core capabilities and critical tasks that apply from the VPF against all agency activities. This alignment does not reflect an additional activity for agencies to deliver against, its purpose is to assist in articulating an agency’s contribution to a specific capability as outlined in the VPF.
The tables demonstrating agency activities mapped to the VPF core capabilities and critical tasks are to be read in conjunction with the following tables: participating agencies for mitigation (table 8), response control (table 9), response support (table 10), relief services and co-ordination (table 11) and recovery co-ordination (tables 12-15).
These agency activities have been discussed with participating EM organisations for inclusion in this document. While these activities are believed to be current at the date of publication, readers are advised to contact the required agency to ensure that functions can still be carried out as expected.
In response to an emergency an agency may be requested to provide support to response activities other than what is listed in the agency role statement. In these cases, the determination of support to these activities, will be made by the EMC or relevant emergency response co-ordinator.
Users of the Roles and Responsibilities are invited to suggest additional organisations and activities that they believe should be considered for inclusion in the next edition.
Other support agencies
The Victorian community receives significant benefit from the EM contributions of a wide range of volunteer groups and organisations whose operations are either quite specialised and/or available mainly in a specific locality.
These groups should be identified in relevant municipal and/or regional EM plans, as appropriate.
This includes the range of agencies that manage public buildings and assets or who have the responsibility to undertake the assessment, restoration, clearing and rehabilitation of assets within their respective portfolio e.g. roads, bridges, sporting facilities, public amenities, schools and hospitals.
The organisations listed in this document are those with either broad or state-wide presence, Government organisations, those with a statutory EM involvement and some private corporations with specific roles.
