23/22 Risk Assessment Guidance for CDEM Group Planning
Director's Guideline for Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups [DGL 23/22]
The Risk Assessments Director's Guideline supports Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Group planning. Through planning, CDEM Groups identify:
- challenges,
- arrangements,
- work programmes, and
- priorities.
Understanding risks is the first step in effective planning.
This guideline gives a clear methodology for understanding risks. And for using that information to inform decision making. It has a step-by-step guide to better understand the consequences of hazards. And practical solutions for reducing and managing impacts.
Before starting this process, please contact your Regional Emergency Management Advisor or email [email protected]
