The White Paper indicates the State Government will introduce an Emergency Management Commissioner within the new overarching authority called Emergency Management Victoria to co-ordinate the agencies responding to any major disaster other than a terrorist attack or criminal matter, which would be handled by the Victoria Police.
The announcement also included the significant announcement by the Minister of the establishment of a Volunteer consultative forum, reporting direct to him.
The forum, to be established early in 2013, will ensure the important input and advice of volunteers will be heard at the highest levels.
The White Paper follows the Green Paper consultation process, to which VFBV provided a detailed submission.
