IGEM DIRECTIONS STATEMENT 2018

Directions Statement

Along with the Government’s Cyclone Debbie Review Action Plan , the Office of the IGEM has the legislative function under the Disaster Management Act 2003 to make disaster management standards (S.16C (i)). As such, this program will reflect the Emergency Management Assurance Framework ; align with the Standard for Disaster Management in Queensland and associated disaster management policy, guidelines and plans. To be effective, the program will need to incorporate good-practice attributes from the Standard for disaster management in Queensland:

scalable – applicable to the context of all groups and entities

comprehensive – applied across all phases of disaster management and for all hazards

interoperable – connect the different approaches to lessons management

value for money – be efficient and effective

adaptable – be flexible and able to meet new challenges and changes within the sector

The development of a lessons management program for approval by Government will be a phased approach:

Release of a discussion paper for consultation

Collaboration with sector representatives to co-design the program

A comprehensive implementation strategy to support the endorsed program.
