The Inspector-General of Emergency Management recommends that the Queensland Police Service lead a review to establish a framework to clearly define the intersect between self-evacuation and emergency shelters, including but not limited to places of refuge, evacuation centres and public cyclone shelters, ensuring roles and responsibilities are clearly articulated.

Identify facilities that can be used as cool spaces during heatwaves and establish linkages between operators and emergency management organisations

Develop flood evacuation plans for at risk communities.

Review coastal inundation evacuation and response plans.

Planning and consultation be undertaken by EMQ with all levels of the Disaster Management system to ensure that necessary risk-based disaster evacuation plans are prepared at Local, District and State levels, supported by necessary community education and preparedness programs.
