Emergency management policy Victoria
Answer 1
In reference to the Emergency management policy Victoria, the EMV is leading the
implementation of the emergency management legislation amendment 2018 that is EMLA act
which help to establish new integrated policy that is well comprehensive and coordinated
framework for emergency management that help to make the planning at state that is based on
regional and municipal level. In context with Emergency management policy Victoria, the
change which is required to made within the policy are responsibilities and focus on role which
is assigned. Therefore, some of the change is also used to made within the facilities that is focus
on the safe practice that is undertaken within workplace. In addition, policies usually focus on
the current context that allow the user to made the comprehensive change such as safety
procedure and equipment that must be monitored regularly before the operation has been taken
place (Adams and et. al., 2022).
Answer 2
The first aspect of policy that is associated with the Emergency management policy
Victoria usually take away is planning of severe storms and flooding. In this, all the plan is
sufficient but it is taking away from the policy because it is well focus on the consideration of
action which is well required by supervisor to make the plan and apart from such plan making, it
is important to make rescue plan and focus on the life of people (Dominey-Howes and et. al.,
2018).
The pandemic and communicable disease is also taking away from the policy because
population knows about the current situation and precaution, so there is no need to take step or
written in policy because a number of policy is well related with the prevention of pandemic
disease or communicable disease. Such policy which include nose and mouth with the tissue
when they are cough or sneeze. In this, they also show some cleaning aspect that is showing
washing of hand in regular ways (Goodrich and et. al., 2020).
The facilities that is intruder need to take in preparation for some intruder events where a
person enter into the centre without any permission and show does not have better cause to be on
the premises. Such kind of aspect is well taken into consideration and there is no need to write

index in polices. It is already written in the firm policies and other so there is no required to write
such context in Emergency management policy Victoria (McLennan and et. al., 2021).
Answer 3
As per review of policies, it is well determining that study has been taken to all the index
and aspect of policy. Some of the change are required as feedback that include in the index of
hazard, the primary focus is to provide treatment and diagnosis apart from informing the
supervisor and taking the documentation (Yao and et. al., 2021).
