You could also call this:

"What Recovery Managers do to help after an emergency"

When you are a Group Recovery Manager, you must direct and co-ordinate the use of resources for recovery activities during a local transition period. You will use resources from departments, Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups, and other people to carry out these activities. You must also do any tasks given to you by the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group or by this Act.

You can ask someone else to do some of your tasks if they are qualified and experienced, but you are still responsible for what they do. If you ask someone to do a task, you cannot let them ask someone else to do it for them.

As a Group Recovery Manager or Local Recovery Manager, you must follow any priorities set by the Director or National Recovery Manager during a national transition period. You can find more information about this in the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002 and the Civil Defence Emergency Management Amendment Act 2016.
