Police from the Tuggerah Lakes, Brisbane Water and Lake Macquarie districts were part of a Central Coast recovery exercise on Thursday, April 10, at the Emergency Operations Centre at Charmhaven Rural Fire Service station.
It brought together the LEOCONs and Deputy LEOCONS (Local Emergency Operations Controllers) from emergency services and functional agencies, as part of the Central Coast Council Local Emergency Management Committee, to improve their capabilities and teamwork.
LEOCONs are responsible for co-ordinating and controlling the response to an emergency as part of the NSW Reconstruction Authority which aims to improve how NSW plans for disasters and make sure communities recover from them faster.
The Central Coast committee continues to build its relationships and experiences to better protect local communities and the recent exercise was about better preparation to move from the response phase of an emergency to the transition into recovery and supporting communities as they rebuild after an emergency event.
