| The economic and social affects of emergencies including loss of life, destruction of property and dislocation of communities are inevitable.
Coping with hazards gives our reason and focus for planning. Hazards exist within all communities whether they are recognised or not.
The Strathbogie Shire Council has a Municipal Emergency Management Plan that has been produced pursuant to Section 20(1) of the Emergency Management Act 1986. This plan addesses the prevention of, response to and recovery from emergencies within the Strathbogie Shire, and is the result of the co-operative efforts of the emergency management planning committee with assistance from Victoria State Emergency Service, North East Regional Headquarters, and recognises the previous planning activities of the municipal area.
