Governance

The governance arrangements for Victoria’s emergency management planning framework involves: 

  • the Emergency Management Commissioner (EMC), who is responsible for state-level planning, and chairs the State Emergency Management Planning Committee (SEMPC)  

  • Regional Emergency Management Planning Committees (REMPCs) which are responsible for regional level planning – one for each emergency management region 

  • Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committees (MEMPCs) which are responsible for planning at the municipal level – one for each municipal district

  • community level planning is optional and not a legislated requirement (there are no formal governance requirements).
