Having undertaken the role of the BRCIM as well as Chair of the Floods Review, I have been in the unique position of being able to examine the state’s management of these disasters from different perspectives. Consequently, I am confident that the recommendations in this report, if implemented, will significantly improve the capacity of the state to deal with such disasters in the future. Given the ever present risk of natural disasters, it is in the interests of the Victorian community that the critical major reforms detailed in this report are addressed as soon as possible.
