REC331-4431

WALGA recommends the State Government develop a simpler and streamlined State Emergency Management Framework with improved communications, guidance and digital tools for LGs to assist them to meet their LEMA obligations This includes:
- The development of a single policy statement that outlines the roles and responsibilities of LG in EM and more clearly articulates the function of LEMA and the minimum requirements for LEMA compliance.
- Improvement of the SEMC website to make it easier and more intuitive for LGs to navigate.
- Development of a digital LEMA knowledge hub/digital application that enables LG resource sharing and fosters a community of practice.
- Provision of a secure online portal system that supports LEMA reporting and interoperability between LGs and HMAs and between the local, district and state EM arrangements.
