Training

The Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements brings together a number of agencies to work in a coordinated manner to assist communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. Disaster management training is important to ensure that all agencies can seamlessly integrate within the city’s disaster management arrangements and contribute to an effective and coordinated response. In accordance with Section 16A of the Act, QFES has the responsibility to ensure that persons involved in disaster operations are appropriately trained. It is the responsibility of all stakeholders with disaster management and disaster operation roles to undertake the training relevant to their role as outlined in the Queensland Disaster Management Training Framework. In conjunction with QFES, the Logan City LDMG maintains a Disaster Management Training Framework, to support Logan City LDMG members and advisors in acquiring and maintaining the expertise to undertake a membership role. The Logan City LDMG regularly assess training needs of members and advisors and has developed a LDMG training program in consultation with QFES, to ensure that a tailored program of disaster management training is provided to LDMG members and advisors.

The Queensland Disaster Management Training Framework is available on disaster.qld.gov.au.
