National emergency risk assessment guidelines

Australian Disaster Resilience Handbook Collection: Handbook 10

In 2011, Handbooks were introduced to better align the Series with the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience. Compiled by practitioners with management and service-delivery experience in a range of disaster events, the handbooks comprised principles, strategies and actions to help the management and delivery of support services in a disaster context.

The handbooks may be used by a wider range of stakeholders, including:

• those responsible for developing emergency-related risk management policy
• those accountable for ensuring risk is effectively managed in a community or organisation
• educators and students in emergency-related risk management
• specialist risk practitioners who apply the NERAG method
• those who evaluate the effectiveness of emergency-related risk management practices.
