This Roadmap is a bold vision for preparing Victoria to handle emergencies into the future.
As part of our journey to success and our commitment to you, the emergency management sector has identified five strategic priorities. These priorities are not new – the emergency services sector has been investing effort in them for some time.
Now, more than ever, it is vital we have a shared understanding of what is important so we can maximise the use of our limited resources, work together and rise to the challenges that lie ahead.
The 5 priorities are areas where Victoria faces the most pressing challenges in emergency management and where we can deliver the greatest impact for the community over the next 6 years (see more detail in our Sector Outcomes Framework).
All 5 priorities are collectively important. We must focus on all of them to deliver on our vision of Safer and More Resilient Communities.
The department acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and acknowledges and pays respect to their Elders, past and present.
