Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference

Welcome message

On behalf of the Conference Committee, it brings me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference. Now into its fifth year, the Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference continues to grow in both size and reputation and this conference has evolved into the premium event of its type, facilitating professional development and the exchange of current ideas and practices between emergency and disaster management practitioners from Australia and New Zealand and increasingly further afield.

This year we will have delegates from over 5 countries and over 100 speakers and poster presenters addressing topics on current and emerging practice, covering a diverse range of themes and issues that are very relevant to emergency and disaster management professionals.

Our countries and our region remain subject to events that have the potential to cause significant disruption, damage, injury and loss of life, and our preparedness and our capacity to respond directly impacts outcomes for affected communities. The continued exchange of ideas and innovations at this conference will result in improved practices within our industry and ultimately on the ground.

The Conference Committee have worked hard to produce a diverse and topical program for you with keynote speakers and invited speakers who represent the ever increasing depth and breadth of the emergency and disaster management sector. We trust that you find the program engaging, informative and provocative.

On behalf of the Conference Committee, I thank you for your attendance, support and participation in what will be another successful Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference.

NEED ONGOING COMMUNICATIONS? OPTUS SATELLITE HAS GOT YOU COVERED.

As the dependency for the internet increases each year, having a broadband connection becomes a communication necessity. Businesses today have a choice in technology for their primary and secondary data links, so communication options are flexible.

WITH COVERAGE ACROSS 100% OF AUSTRALIA, OPTUS SATELLITE CAN PROVIDE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY TO YOUR SITES, IN PLACES WHERE REGULAR INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNAVAILABLE OR UNRELIABLE.

Satellites rely on the atmosphere for their communication paths, which means there is not the same vulnerability as terrestrial infrastructure when natural disasters or unforeseen events strike. So, if your business has a critical need for ongoing communications, then using satellite as your primary or secondary network means that you are provided with the redundancy required, and a means of easily deploying communication equipment at short notice.

As Australia’s leading satellite provider, Optus Satellite can help your business stay in touch, no matter where in Australia or New Zealand you are, providing you have a line of site to the satellite.

WE’LL KEEP YOU CONNECTED.

KEYNOTE ABSTRACTSovercoming pernicious traDitions A/Professor Brett Aimers

The Asia Pacific region is the most disaster prone region in the world. Increasingly, as a region, we are experiencing a greater frequency of severe, catastrophic or out of scale disasters with more devastating and wider reaching consequences. Evolving weather and climatic patterns are contributing to fires starting easier and burning harder, flood waters moving quicker and traveling further and a heightened incidence of opportunistic epidemics.

In the past decade alone, a person living in the Asia Pacific region was thirty time more likely to be affected by a natural disaster as a person living in North America or Europe.Arguably, this places, or should place our more traditional approaches to disaster planning and management under the microscope to ensure they are contemporary and considerate of an ever-changing hazard landscape.

This presentation will focus on the perils of us not effectively embracing lessons from recent history and explore a number of concepts to help recognise, respond to and overcome pernicious traditions. One such concept is that of creative disobedience; that is, creating a culture within an organisation or structure that permits and enables the injection of innovative solutions to novel disasters.

proactive Disaster management through Data assimilation, analysis, moDelling anD visualizationDr Joanna Batstone

Incidents and emergencies that impact public safety happen in every community. Ranging in size and scope from traffic accidents, water main breaks, power outages, and criminal activity to fires, floods, cyclones, and earthquakes; all of these events can create a strain on police and emergency management personnel.

In this presentation, I will be describing some the diverse activities where IBM has worked with operations personnel, responders and managers to mitigate, prepare, respond and recover from such events. These include use cases from our IBM Intelligent Operations Center for Emergency Management software to cutting edge projects in from our research labs in Australia and around the world.

crisis leaDershipCommissioner Katarina Carroll

‘Leadership in a crisis is very different from every day leadership under normal conditions!’ Whilst the

presentation will examine the qualities required of a leader in a ‘crisis’, the presentation will also discuss whether it actually takes a crisis to bring out the best in leadership.

A crisis can define a CEO’s or politician’s leadership and how many leaders have made their mark in the darkest of hours. Leaders have an essential role in a crisis and they must be present. The presentation will examine leaders that had direct leadership roles in crisis events such as Tony Hayward (BP’s ex chief) in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 and former Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon during the Black Saturday fires in 2009.

It will also examine the role of the political leaders in a crisis. Premier Anna Bligh in the 2010/11 floods in Queensland staged the greatest come back in political history. George Bush saw some modest approval ratings after the attacks of 9/11 but suffered dismally as to how he handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

An examination of these crises and the lessons from them will enable ‘crisis leaders’ to add to their arsenal of tools to better prepare for, respond to and recover from any crisis.

the proDuctivity commission’s assessment of australia’s natural Disaster funDing arrangementsCommissioner Jonathan Coppel

In April 2014 the Australian government tasked the Productivity Commission to undertake a public inquiry into the efficacy of Australia’s natural disaster funding arrangements. In particular, the Commission was asked to analyse the quantum, coherence, effectiveness and sustainability of Commonwealth, state and territory expenditures on natural disaster mitigation, resilience and recovery and to propose reforms.

Jonathan Coppel was a Presiding Commissioner leading the inquiry. His presentation will give an overview of the final report and its assessment of how well Australia’s natural disaster funding arrangements perform, the reform options proposed and the role that wider policy measures, notably improved hazard and risk information play in natural disaster risk management.

psychosocial implications of Disaster managementDr Sarb Johal

People working in disaster management often have reduced opportunities to reflect upon their work and the impact that it may be having upon them, especially when working out of the ‘Readiness’ phase. This opportunity to reflect can be a critical factor in how communities - both professional and more personal - are able to provide help for others and themselves. The shared experience of both going through a disaster oneself and having a job where one cares for others

ECU’s Master of Disaster and Emergency ResponseECU’s Master of Disaster and Emergency Response is designed to provide emergency services practitioners with an understanding of the challenges involved in coordinating the scene of a major incident or disaster. In particular, it focuses on providing leadership and support to those involved. Graduates can use their disaster and emergency response qualification in a range of multidisciplinary settings, both nationally and internationally, including emergency response agencies and non-government organisations.

Entry is open to those with a relevant Bachelor degree or equivalent prior learning, with at least five years professional experience. What’s more, the course is available online and part-time so that you can fit study around your life.

is a precarious balancing act. There is plenty of evidence that many are able to put aside personal concerns to be able to focus upon delivering a service, but there is a burden attached to this.

Research has identified that rescue and recovery workers engaged in disaster relief are at increased risk of developing mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. In the health sector, patients problems are becoming increasingly complex and the care provided for them more and more fragmented. Efficiency savings, greater population disease burden, and constant pressure for cost savings place increasing pressure on resources, along with strain on relationships between staff members, and staff and the patients they care for. Similar tensions exist when considering the long-term human impacts of disasters.

Psychosocial approaches to disaster management pay close attention to the dynamic relationship that exists between intra-individual psychological processes and impacts and more inter-individual social processes and effects, continually interacting with and influencing each other.

In this presentation, I outline some of the challenges faced when delivering psychosocial services to affected communities, or indeed when conducting research in these situations, and puts forward some suggestions to counteract these to thrive.

volunteering in DisastersMs Julie Molloy

Volunteers’ responding to a crisis situation is one of the most distinct expressions of the human condition and one that exemplifies the innate desire to help each other. It is also among the most visible faces of volunteerism.

The emergency volunteering sector is made up of hundreds of thousands of volunteers across Australia and perhaps the clearest interpretation of authentic social capital is in the altruism displayed by volunteers during times of crisis.

Volunteering in major disaster scenarios is viewed as the best of society, often in the most difficult of circumstances. Increasingly, this takes place spontaneously, outside any organised setting. Mostly those offering to help do so in the very early days of disasters and as it is unfolding. But the sad reality is that help is as needed during the first few days as much, if not more in weeks and months afterwards.

This presentation will explore some of the causes of these emergent behaviours; however, it will acknowledge the contribution of volunteerism extending far beyond immediate response. We will also look at a range of volunteer actions that should be considered in light of societal trends, to extend the capacity of the Emergency Volunteering sector and bolster the critical roles volunteers

currently perform across disaster management, from preparedness through to prevention and mitigation, as well as response and recovery.

emerging technology anD capability neeDs Mr Brendan Moon

The Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) was established only five years ago and has already developed a range of innovative and robust systems and processes to manage Queensland’s more than $13 billion reconstruction program.

We are continuing to build on our experience and techniques, developing innovative solutions to ensure Queenslanders are able to recover quickly following natural disasters, including:

• Digital damage data• Queensland Betterment fund• Online grants system for the Department of

Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services • Crowd sourcing app

QRA developed a platform for the collection of data on damaged infrastructure immediately following a natural disaster event – infrastructure damage assessment and reconstruction monitoring (iDARM).

This data has been used throughout the submission process to enable local governments and state agencies to support requests for the reimbursement of funds under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) funding program.

QRA is further enhancing its iDARM data by digitally capturing, through the aid of Geographic Information System (GIS) software, the history of Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements works since 2011.

This project will enable a “heat map” to be produced to identify funding spent under NDRRA on a particular asset as well as the number of times the asset has been impacted to help inform a whole-of-state approach for identifying susceptible assets and critical links. These maps will assist in the informing of local disaster management plans as well as identify potential resilience and mitigation projects.

QRA is working with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, as well as local government authorities, the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, the Department of Local Government Infrastructure and Planning, the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, and the Bureau of Meteorology on the project.

POSTER PRESENTATIONSPoster presentations will be on display for the duration of the Conference in the Exhibition Hall. During the dedicated lunch time poster session, presenters will be at their poster to discuss their work and answer any questions.
