Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002

Appointment, functions, and powers of persons involved in civil defence emergency management - Group Recovery Managers and Local Recovery Managers

30: Appointment of Local Recovery Managers

You could also call this:

"Who can be in charge of helping a community recover after a big emergency?"

When a big emergency happens, a group called a Civil Defence Emergency Management Group can choose someone to be a Local Recovery Manager. You can be chosen for this role if you have the right skills and experience. The Group can tell you to do some of the jobs that the Group Recovery Manager usually does, and you can use the powers that the Group Recovery Manager has, including the powers in sections 94H, 94I, and 94K to 94N.

The Local Recovery Manager has to follow the directions of the Group Recovery Manager during a transition period. This means that even if you are a Local Recovery Manager, you still have to listen to the Group Recovery Manager and do what they say during this time.

A Civil Defence Emergency Management Group can appoint one or more Local Recovery Managers to help with the recovery after an emergency, and they can work in a specific area to make sure everything runs smoothly.
