60: Appointment of Regional Recovery Managers for multi-member Emergency Management Committees

You could also call this:

"Who helps your area recover from an emergency?"

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If a multi-member Emergency Management Committee is set up, you will have a Regional Recovery Manager. This person will be in charge of helping your area recover from an emergency. The Committee must choose someone who is qualified and experienced for this role. The Committee must also choose at least one other person who can act as the Regional Recovery Manager if the main person is away or cannot do the job. This is so there is always someone in charge of helping your area recover. The Committee can give some of its powers to these representatives, but it must be careful about how it does this. The Committee can let its representatives remove and replace the Regional Recovery Manager with someone else during a transition period. You can read more about this in section 64(4) and section 49(1)​(b). The Committee must make sure its representatives are allowed to make big decisions about your area.
