Submissions to the Victorian Floods Review are invited until Friday 27th May 2011. On 8 February 2011, Premier of Victoria Ted Baillieu announced the Review of the 2010-11 Flood Warnings and Response. Neil Comrie, AO APM, is to head the review. The Review of the 2010-11 Flood Warnings and Response will examine:
- the adequacy of flood predictions and modelling;
- the timelines and effectiveness of warnings and public information
- emergency services command and control arrangements;
- the adequacy of evacuations of people at-risk, including those in health and aged-care facilities;
- the adequacy of clean-up and recovery efforts;
- the adequacy of service delivery by Federal, State and local governments, and
- the adequacy of funding provided by State and Federal governments for emergency grants.
A Parliamentary inquiry would investigate related issues, including identifying best practice and technology for flood mitigation, monitoring infrastructure and levees across Victoria.
The Environment and Natural Resources Committee will make its final report to Parliament by November 30, 2011.
