Emergency Management Australia (EMA)

Emergency Management Australia is the Australian Government agency responsible for reducing the impact of emergencies on the Australian community. It is also the lead Australian Government agency for emergency response.

EMA provides dedication and expertise to the emergency management aspects of community safety. EMA makes an essential contribution to ensuring coordinated Australian Government criminal justice, security and emergency management activity, for a safer Australia.

EMA works closely with Victoria and other States to achieve a number of prevention, response and recovery activities. These are outlined in the Emergency Management Manual Victoria. (The manual is available on the Office of the Emergency Services Commissioner website website - see chapter 6-33. )
