A Risk Management Approach
• Councils have for some time been managing risk within existing & coordinated framework
• The Risk framework allows for the examination of implications to service delivery & community leadership to be examined
• Disruption related risk – AS 5050 managing disruption related risk.
• AS 5050 & ISO 31000 intrinsically linked

Issues for consideration
• Where are our fire risk areas (how do we define those areas)
• What services are in those areas or travel into those areas
• What is the impact of a Severe – Extreme or Catastrophic Danger warnings on our service delivery within the risk areas (Staff/Community/Critical functions)
• What CFS identified points are within our LGA, and what are our responsibilities (shared responsibilities ?)

Overview of ServicesRisk Statements
There is a risk that staff undertaking general site inspections during declared catastrophic danger days may be exposed to geographical areas of high risk when undertaking their duties.
There is a risk that current outdoor work practices do not consider the impact of declared catastrophic danger days as to where and what type of activities can be safely undertaken.
There is a risk the weekly kerbside waste pickup may need to be suspended due to unsafe working conditions that may be present during fire danger periods
