IGEM DIRECTIONS STATEMENT 2018

Directions Statement

Following The Cyclone Debbie Review , Government endorsed a range of actions to implement recommendations for improvement. This action plan provides the authority for the IGEM to lead the development of a system-wide lessons management program. 1

Recommendation

Background

Lead

Where there were comprehensive and consistent approaches to debriefing, opportunities for improvement and good practice were better identified. By capturing lessons from the broader disaster management system, lessons will be more easily turned into sustained improvements. Lessons can be captured by developing a system for collating and disseminating lessons learned and monitoring implementation.

IGEM

Culture of Learning

Queensland should implement and maintain a system-wide lesson management program.

Support to develop and deliver this program will be provided by all agencies, disaster management groups and practitioners. We will work in close collaboration with Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and the Queensland Police Service, which both play key roles in supporting system improvement.
