Part C2 – Control & Support Agencies

C2. Control and Support Agencies

C2.1 Control and Support Agencies by Emergency

Detailed below is an agreed set of arrangements for the response to identified emergencies within the City of Stonnington. These arrangements have been tailored to meet local response capabilities based on the agencies available within the municipality. Support Agencies may be able to offer varying levels of support from ‘on-ground’ resources to information. It may be appropriate to consult with a number of identified Support Agencies for advice in relation to any given emergency. It is the prerogative of the Control agency to formulate action plans for a given emergency in consultation with support agencies.

For certain types of emergency, more than one control agency is shown. Each regional and municipal plan identifies the relevant control agencies through consideration of normal geographic areas of operation and resources capacity.

Refer to the Glossary in Part C1 for explanation of abbreviations.

C2.2 Services and Agencies for Response

The undermentioned list of support tasks indicates the functional service agency and relevant support agencies. The list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive as many agencies, including combat agencies may have a support role and a functional service role, dependent on the nature of the emergency. In the event that local resources cannot be provided to meet support tasks needed, the request should be passed onto the Regional Emergency Response Coordinator via the Municipal Emergency Response Coordinator.
