Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

You will have new rules to follow if you are a Recovery Manager. This includes Regional, District, and Local Recovery Managers. It also includes people they authorise under certain sections, such as section 65(3)(c), section 66(3)(c), or section 67(6). You must use your powers in a way that aligns with national priorities. These priorities are set by important people like the Director-General, National Controller, or National Recovery Manager. They decide how resources and services should be used during emergencies or transitions. You need to follow these priorities when making decisions. This ensures everyone works together effectively during difficult times. It helps keep people safe and supports the country's recovery.
