Through community development, Emergency Planning Facilitators play an instrumental role in supporting people to make a plan and gather information about the extra support needs that people with disability may have in emergencies. This can support individual and community level emergency planning through the provision of information, referral, and advocacy.
Emergency Planning Facilitators will use the Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) process tool and framework to conceptualise emergency preparedness as a person-centred developmental process which may involve multiple stakeholders working together to expand opportunities for people, including people with disability, to access information and resources and convert those resources into preparedness actions that optimises self-reliance and planful reliance on others.
The ultimate aim is to increase safety and well-being of everyone before, during and after emergencies, through emergency preparedness that is tailored to the function-based support needs of people in emergencies, including people with disability; and identify and remove barriers that increase risk for people in emergencies.
Please see the attached position description to understand the role in more detail. Enquiries relation to this position can be made by contracting Jessica Innes, Executive Officer on 02 4587 0222.
