Disaster management sub-group forms

A new local disaster management community sub group has been established in the Mooloolah/ Eudlo area and it needs a volunteer secretary to join it.

While the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) will still be responsible for maintaining the overall regional disaster management plan, the re-established Mooloolah/Eudlo community sub group, with its local knowledge, will act in the local community’s interests to prepare for and, wherever and whenever possible in the initial stages, respond to a major incident or natural disaster.

Jason Carroll has been appointed the new coordinator who will oversee the Mooloolah Valley/Eudlo/Diamond Valley and Glenview area.

Currently the group has Judi Brown as its deputy and Ryan Cornett as communications officer. Jason said that once the group was fully established it would meet four times a year, with a full activation of the disaster plan once a year.

“What we need is someone to provide secretarial support to the meetings, administration of the group, support for the coordinator and deputy, and at times of emergency activation to be available to record all actions and duties as required," Jason said.

"While we are in the initial set-up stage there will also be a requirement to meet regularly to fully establish the group."

The purpose of the Mooloolah/Eudlo local disaster management community sub group is to establish a core group of people within the local community who possess the local knowledge and expertise to ensure that disaster management and disaster operations within the local area are managed.
