Attention members of the community, small business owners and primary producers who have been impacted by natural disasters in Wentworth Shire (and Australia wide).
The National Emergency Management Agency of the Australian Government is encouraging the wider community to share their experiences as part of the Independent Review of Commonwealth Disaster Funding.
The review is seeking input on:
- community experiences with funding programs, processes and support
- their understanding of the roles of the different levels of government during a disaster;
- and their thoughts on how the Commonwealth could support communities to reduce their disaster risk.
The review is also considering how government investment in disaster risk reduction, preparedness, response, recovery and resilience can better support both a national system and the scale of transformation needed to build resilience to the extreme disaster events Australia is projected to experience over coming decades.
To provide your feedback and input, ask questions about the public submissions, and access more information about the review, please visit the National Emergency Management Agency's website.
Public submissions are accepted until 10pm AEST on Friday, 14 July 2023 with a final report to be provided to Government in April 2024.
