NSPA ( Kingsley Searle and Narelle Milligan) met with the Council General Manager and the senior Council team involved in emergency management. Council wanted to hear what happened on the ground with the storm and suggestions about what they could have done better. Emergency services were involved but didn’t communicate to Council so it was two hours after the event when they heard how serious the event was.
We requested that the SMS is used for road closures as well. They agreed to do this.
They are participating in an Emergency Recovery project across several Councils (Federal funding) and invited the NSPA and North Shore community to be part of the project.
In conjunction with the North Shore Rural Fire Brigade and NSPA, Council is working on strategies to improve communication.
