Emergency response

Extreme events and emergencies are an ongoing public health concern, affecting our families, our communities and our organisations. First and foremost, our thoughts and priorities lie with the health and wellbeing of our sector and wider community. We wish to extend our gratitude to our healthcare workers and those providing essential services.

Emergency Recovery Victoria is a web portal designed to connect individuals, families, communities, businesses and regions to rebuild and recover after a disaster. Please refer to the website for up to date information on what is happening in Victoria.

At AMaGA Victoria, we are conscious that the needs of our members have shifted significantly. Our team is dedicated to developing ways to meet the emerging needs of our members, whilst continuing to provide existing services. We hope that the information shared on this page will keep you updated with relevant developments affecting the sector as well as resources to guide you and your organisation through these challenging times.

Disaster Preparedness Calendar

AICCM has developed an annual Disaster Preparedness Calendar to help cultural organisations act in a timely manner and be prepared for the hazards prominent in their region. While there are some disasters that we can’t prevent, we can reduce their impact on our collections by:

• Practicing risk reduction

• Focusing on disaster preparedness

• Reviewing policies

• Developing resilient communities
