City of Coffs Harbour is not a lead Combat Agency in a disaster or emergency event, as a member of the Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) we work to:
- Advise of any interruptions to the services we provide, including the status of roads and bridges, water and waste services and more
- Restore any services which impact on the welfare and safety of our community in a timely manner
- Support emergency lead agencies and/or combat agencies in assisting our community.
Emergencies or declared disaster events are controlled by either a Combat Agency or an Emergency Operations Controller (if requested by a Combat Agency or a Combat Agency is not specified). The Combat Agency will vary, depending on the type of emergency.
The following is a summary of potential types of emergencies which may affect our community and the identified lead Combat Agency.
