Volunteers from Victoria's marine search and rescue (MSAR) sector recently volunteered their time, with more than 30 attending our annual MSAR conference at the Victorian Emergency Management Institute (VEMI) in Mount Macedon.

EMV recently hosted the All Sectors Resilience Network Forum, involving members of Victoria’s eight critical infrastructure Sector Resilience Networks (SRNs).

The spotlight was placed on leading resilience initiatives at this week’s 2022 Victorian Resilient Australia Awards.

After the extreme weather event in June 2021, we established a Learning Review with the Victoria State Emergency Service. Its goal was to capture lessons of state-wide, multi-agency significance.

A series of improvements have been made to the VicEmergency website, app and social media channels, in line with a national approach to emergency information and warnings.

The Victorian Government has launched a new Emergency Recovery Resource Portal (ERRP) providing guidance and information for the recovery sector.

EMV thanks everyone who shared their experiences from the June extreme weather event in Victoria with our Learning Review.

Emergency management and community organisations have received $3.2 million in funding to strengthen their response to natural disasters.

Fast-running grassfires will be a risk across Victoria this summer, according to the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook released yesterday.

The latest Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for December 2020 to February 2021 indicates an ‘average’ fire season for the state, which is in line with earlier predictions from the September-November 2020 outlook.
