East Gippsland Shire Council

Community Risk Register This register records the outcomes of the Community Emergency Risk Management process conducted by the East Gippsland Shire Council Emergency Management Planning Committee. It is accepted that the treatments recommended during this process will be addressed at the appropriate management level and that a process for monitoring the effectiveness of their implementation will be established. Regular reports will be provided to the municipal emergency management planning committee and other parts of council as necessary.


March 2011 3

Introduction This risk register has been developed to provide the municipality with a guide as to what information should be retained from the Community Emergency Risk Management process for audit purposes. More importantly, the risk register records the decisions of the group and contains the plans that must be completed in each phase. Using this risk register will ensure a consistent approach and methodology. The Community Emergency Risk Management process as facilitated by VICSES uses the model on the following page. This model shows the phases and steps that will guide the municipality in completing a Risk Management process for emergencies as per: • ISO 31000:2009 • SES Community Emergency Risk Management (CERM) Process

Community Emergency Risk Management Community emergency risk management can be divided into the three phases outlined in the table below.

Phase one: Policy and procedures

Develop policies, procedures and terms of reference.

Phase two: Action

This is the investigative, information-gathering and analytical phase. The group will:

Collect data about the community’s elements at risk and hazards.

Identify risks (What events have the potential to destroy/seriously damage people, property or the environment.)

Analyse risks How likely is it? What will be the consequences?

Prioritise risks Phase three: Decision & treatment

During this phase decisions need to be made about what can be done and how to prevent, mitigate, avoid, accept (tolerate). The group will recommend treatment options to senior management for implementation.

Glossary Consequences The outcome of an event affecting objectives expressed

qualitatively or quantitatively, and can be certain or uncertain and have positive or negative effects. An initial consequence can escalate through knock-on effects. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.6.1.3)

Event The occurrence or change of a particular set of circumstances sometimes referred to as an “incident” or “accident” that can be one or more occurrences and can have several causes.

(ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.5.1.3)

Risk Source

An element which alone or in combination has the intrinsic potential to give rise to risk and can be tangible or intangible.

(ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.5.1.2)

Hazard Source of potential harm and can be a risk a source. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.5.1.4)

Likelihood The chance of something happening. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.6.1.1)

Risk The effect of uncertainty on objectives, objectives can have different aspects (such as financial, health and safely and environmental goals) and can apply at different levels (such as strategic, organisation wide, project, product and process). Risk is often expressed in terms of a combination of the consequences of an event (including change in circumstances) and the associated likelihood of occurrence.

(ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 1.1)

Risk avoidance An informed decision not to become involved in or to withdraw from an activity, in order not to be exposed to a particular risk and can be based on the result of a risk evaluation and / or legal and regulatory obligation. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.8.1.2)

Risk management Coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard to risk.

(ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 2.1)

Residual risk The remaining or retained risk after treatment. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.8.1.6)

Risk transfer Shifting the responsibility or burden for loss to another party through legislation, contract, insurance or other means. Risk transfer can also refer to shifting a physical risk or part thereof elsewhere. (AS/NZS 4360:2004, P5)

Risk treatment The process to modify risks, treatments can create new risks or modify existing ones. (ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary 3.8.1)

Note: All definitions taken from ISO Guide 73:2009, Risk Management – Vocabulary, except Risk Transfer which is taken from AS/NZS 4360:2004, . Risk Transfer is not mentioned in ISO Guide 73:2009.

Step one: Establish the context The Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) established the context by defining the criteria against which risk is measured (acceptability of risk) and defined the structure that they would use to identify, analyse and treat risk. In considering the content of the context statement, the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) answered the following questions: - 1. What authority does the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee

(MEMPC) have?

The Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) is appointed in accordance with the Emergency Management Act 1986 S21(3) and is responsible to give consideration to Emergency Management and make recommendations to the Council. Particularly, the committee is to prepare a draft Municipal Emergency Management Plan for consideration by the municipal council.

2. What decision-making power is invested in the Municipal Emergency

Management Planning Committee (MEMPC)?

The Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee has no power to direct Council, Government or other agencies. It can make recommendations to East Gippsland Shire Council with regard to emergency management and risk treatment issues.

3. What are the terms of reference regarding Community Emergency Risk

Management for this group?

• Consider emergencies that may impact on people, property and environment. • Identify risks within the East Gippsland Shire. • Assess the likelihood and consequences associated with each risk and assign a

level (Extreme, High, Moderate or Low). • Consider prevention, response and recovery. • Prepare a Strategic Statement for each risk.

4. How will information be communicated to the stakeholders?

• Media releases and advertising; • By conducting community consultation meetings at various locations; • Through participating organisations; • Briefings to Council; • East Gippsland Shire Council website.


March 2011 10

5. What information will be distributed?

• A description of the purpose and the process for Community Emergency Risk Management.

• The results and implications for the community. • Need for community ownership. • Linking Community Emergency Risk Management to existing prevention and

awareness programs.

All information relating to the risk management process adopted by the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee and the results of that process will be appended to the East Gippsland Municipal Emergency Management Plan.

6. What are the major outcomes expected?

• Raise the community awareness of risks and to empower the community to contribute effectively to all phases of the risk management process.

• Update of Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) using the risk matrix developed in the Community Emergency Risk Management (CERM) process to identify sub plans to be included in the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP).

• Refer strategic statements to relevant sections of Council to be addressed in the review of pertinent Council strategies.

• Better informed emergency management structure. • A better understanding of risk management within the Council’s Management Team • A more analytical approach, structured analysis of hazards. • Prevention/Mitigation recommendations for Council.

7. What strategies may be used to determine the concerns of the community

regarding hazards within the community?

• Analysis of relevant data e.g. “Crash Statistics”; • Local specialist expertise and knowledge provided by members of Municipal

Emergency Management Planning Committee; • Invite comments from community groups, public authorities / agencies; • History of previous events.

After considering the above questions and answers, the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) developed the Context Statement.


March 2011 11

Context Statement

East Gippsland Shire Council Municipal Emergency Management Planning (MEMP) Committee

The East Gippsland Shire Council is strongly committed to providing a safe environment for the community. One of the key outcomes identified in the Council Plan is “Liveability.” A strong and vibrant community creates healthy, productive and fulfilling places to live which are cohesive, active, healthy, safe, diverse and connected. The Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee will use the principals of Community Emergency Risk Management (CERM), in planning for the reduction of emergency related risks, will endeavour to create a safer environment by identifying, analysing, assessing risks and developing strategic statements by application of a community emergency risk management process which employs the generic guidelines in ISO 31000:2009. Through the emergency risk management process communication with all stakeholders will be enhanced through press releases, Council’s Web Site and annual community assessment and review of risks. The East Gippsland Shire Council recognises that this process may lead to suggested risk treatments that may affect social, political, economic and/or environmental aspects of the community. All risk treatment options will be considered irrespective of perceived constraints. Terms of Reference of the Committee To identify and consider treatment options for risks that have the potential to become emergencies which may: • require action of more than one agency • threaten people, property or the environment • have the potential to become protracted or to escalate so as to affect the community The Emergency Risk Management process will be continually reviewed and assessed annually by the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee. Outcomes will be presented to Council with recommendations for decision annually.


March 2011 12

Step two: Structure 1. Describe the type of analysis to be used.

The committee agreed to use the qualitative analysis as recommended by the Victorian State Emergency Service and using local knowledge and the expertise of the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee.

2. Map out the structure. (Describe the techniques to be used to identify risks.)

Risks identified and recorded using the expertise and local knowledge of the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee and the community.

3. Undertake activities in the following sequence: 1. Community profile 2. Identify sources of risk 3. Identify vulnerable elements 4. Identify risks 5. Analyse risks

• Determine likelihood

• Determine consequences

• Allocate likelihood rating

• Allocate consequence rating

• Establish level of risk 6. Consider Adequacy of current controls 7. Consider Prevention, Planning, Response and Recovery 8. Develop Strategic Statement 9. Review Annually


March 2011 13

Step three: Determine the criteria to be used

Risk Criteria The tables below were used to determine likelihood and will be used in conjunction with the following consequences table and risk rating matrix as recommended by Victorian State Emergency Service. These tables were developed from the risk management standard AS/NZ 4360 and will be used in conjunction with the Risk Register and Analysis Matrix.

Qualitative measures of likelihood

Step five: Complete the Risk Register and Treatment Plans The Risk Register brings together the information determined by the previous steps into a format that allows each risk to be rated. The group should now determine the ratings and statement content that best describe the situation regarding each risk. For practical purposes the Risk Register and Treatment Plan have been combined into one form. A separate form should be used for each identified risk. Risk Register For each risk:

• Prepare a Risk Statement • Determine Likelihood and Consequences • Risk Rating (from Risk rating matrix) • Identify Council responsibilities • Identify other agencies

Treatment Strategies

• Can the risk be tolerated • Can the risk be reduced? If so how • Consider Prevention Planning Response and Recovery

Notes The completed Risk Register and Treatment Plans are shown on the following pages.

March 2011 25

Step two: Risk treatment plan Once risks have been assessed and prioritised, the group must develop a risk treatment plan for each risk.

How to complete the risk treatment plan

Can this risk be handled by existing measures and/or will the risk be tolerated?

If the answer is yes the group must document how it can be managed or why it will be tolerated.

Can likelihood, consequence or vulnerability be reduced?

If the answer is yes the group must document the strategies identified and which ones it recommends be implemented.

Approved by Identify who (individual or organisation) will be responsible for approving the treatment plan.

Responsible Officer Identify who will be responsible for overseeing and reporting on the progress of implementation of the treatment action plan(s).

Process 1. Send the completed Risk Register and Treatment Plan for each risk to Council. 2. Obtain comment from Council. 3. Assess cost/community benefit. 4. Decision by Council. 5. Identify an organisation responsible for implementing the option selected. 6. Develop a timetable for implementation. 7. Develop a strategy, in the form of an action plan, for implementation of the

treatment. 8. Develop a strategy for monitoring the progress of implementation and the

resultant effect on the risk. (Refer to MEMPC for review of risk.)
