COUNCIL COMMUNITY CATCH-UP IN CLERMONT A workshop to learn about Isaac Regional Council’s role and responsibilities in disaster management will be held in Clermont next week. The Disaster Resilience Community Engagement Workshop will give residents an insight in how the Isaac Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) works. Mayor Anne Baker, who chairs the LDMG, said a member from Council’s Disaster Management team will explain Council’s role and legal responsibilities at Clermont Civic Centre Supper Room from 3pm to 4.30pm on Tuesday, 24 September 2019. “This workshop is an opportunity to find out about who the Local Disaster Management Group is, how this fits into the district and state level arrangements and what support can be accessed,” Mayor Baker said. “This is also an opportunity for the community to help further develop the Local Disaster Management Plan and to ensure capacity in responding to unfolding events. “This is part of a holistic engagement to all Isaac communities over a 12-18 month period to provide information for updates to the plan and sub-plans.”
