 Australian Federal Attorney-General, Robert McClelland and Victorian Minister for Emergency Services, Bob Cameron, have announced a $7.8 million joint implementation plan for disaster resilience initiatives in Victoria.
The plan formally implements the National Partnership Agreement on Natural Disaster Resilience signed by the Prime Minister and the Victorian Premier at the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting in December 2009.
The implementation plan will be funded under the Commonwealth’s new $110 million Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP) which assists government and non government agencies, in conjunction with the private sector, to cooperatively prepare for, and respond to, major natural disasters.
Further information on the Natural Disaster Resilience Program can be found at www.ema.gov.au
