Public Health Group - Region 1: Counter Disaster Plan
The Public Health Group - Region 1: Counter Disaster Plan (2011) is an update to the 2009 Plan that includes additional reference documents. The 2011 Plan is outcome-focused and provides a framework for the management and response to disasters by the Department's Public Health Group - Region 1. It also aims to increase the skill sets of Public Health Professionals with respect to disaster management.
This document reflects the changing roles of Public Health professionals towards contemporary disaster management practices, rather than focusing on a reactionary approach. The 2011 Plan is multi-disciplinary and recognises the important roles of other NT Government Agencies, and the Department's Functional Groups.
The 2011 Plan details the following:
- Northern Territory Counter Disaster arrangements
- Department of Health Counter Disaster arrangements
- Public and Environmental Roles in a Disaster
