Council’s Role in Emergency Management for Executive Leaders

In today’s rapidly changing world, the role of councils in emergency management has never been more crucial. As an executive leader, your ability to effectively guide your council through all phases of emergency management—planning, mitigation, response, and recovery—is essential to the safety and resilience of your community.

Councils have a legislative responsibility in all phases of emergency management—planning, mitigation, response (including relief), and recovery. Understanding these roles and responsibilities is crucial for ensuring that councils are prepared to support their communities effectively. By successfully fulfilling these duties, councils build public trust and confidence, demonstrating their commitment to safeguarding the well-being and resilience of the communities they serve.

This training is conducted by Mat and Sue who have comprehensive first hand experience supporting executive leaders during large and complex disasters. Their knowledge and experience is comprehensively unique where they pride themselves on having successfully performed all the roles they teach.
