This capacity assessment for the District of Mackay identifies accountabilities as well as activities that will be used to validate performance in disaster management. It includes a model for community engagement and recommendations for further improvement.
The purpose of this review is to assess district and local level capability to deliver legislated disaster management outcomes and to develop an integrated improvement strategy for the Mackay disaster district.
Importantly, all local governments and groups, inherently recognise their capability limits and are actively working towards improving practice or identify when they require assistance to support disaster management and disaster operations.
