Overview
The Victorian Preparedness Framework (VPF) identifies the core capabilities and critical tasks Victoria requires to effectively manage major emergencies before, during and after or any combination thereof (outlined in the VPF).
The critical task tables map agency roles and responsibilities (as found in agency role statements) to the VPF core capabilities and critical tasks. This shows agency’s contribution to an EM capability and does not reflect additional activities for agencies.
The critical task tables are to be read in conjunction with the following tables:
- participating agencies for mitigation (table 8),
- control agencies for response (table 9),
- support agencies for response (table 10),
- relief coordination (table 11) and
- recovery coordination (tables 14–18).
The agency role statements have been reviewed with the relevant EM agencies 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 [1].
In response to an emergency an agency may be requested to provide support to response activities other than what is listed in an agency role statement. In these cases, the determination of support to these activities will be made by the EMC or relevant emergency response coordinator.
Other support agencies
The agencies listed in the Roles and Responsibilities are those with either broad or state-wide presence, Government organisations, those with a statutory EM involvement and some private corporations with specific roles.
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 regional and/or municipal EM plans, as appropriate.
SEMP Roles and Responsibilities alignment to the VPF
Aligning the SEMP Roles and Responsibilities to the VPF provides the EM sector with an avenue to demonstrate EM sector capability. This is done in two ways:
- Aligning EM phases to core capabilities
- Aligning agency role statement activities to critical tasks.
Utilising the EM phases of mitigation, response (including relief) and recovery, associations between the SEMP Roles and Responsibilities and the VPF core capabilities can be established. Table 19 illustrates how the VPF core capabilities align to each of the sections in the SEMP Roles and Responsibilities, as well as which EM phase they sit within.
Used in conjunction with table 20, users (including planners) can begin to understand agency contribution towards each core capability and the interrelatedness of those capabilities across the SEMP’s emergency management phases.
