Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) reviewed international disaster risk methodology with the view to developing a fit for purpose application that could be applied at the local as well as State level and would literally inform risk-based planning. The review focused on the three international tenants of disaster risk management: avoiding the creation of new risk; reducing existing risk; and managing residual risk. This review also specifically examined vulnerability assessment, determining residual risk and prioritisation for planning across the three levels of government that comprise Queensland’s Disaster Management Arrangements.
