Conference
Welcome Message
On behalf of the Conference Committee, it brings me great pleasure to welcome you to the
2016 Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference.
Now into its fifth year, the Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference continues
to grow in both size and reputation and this conference has evolved into the premium event of its type, facilitating
professional development and the exchange of current ideas and practices between emergency and disaster
management practitioners from Australia and New Zealand and increasingly further afield.
This year we will have delegates from over 5 countries and over 100 speakers and poster presenters addressing topics
on current and emerging practice, covering a diverse range of themes and issues that are very relevant to emergency
and disaster management professionals.
As the dependency for the
internet increases each year,
having a broadband connection
becomes a communication
necessity. Businesses today have
a choice in technology for their
primary and secondary data links,
so communication options are
flexible.
Our countries and our region remain subject to events that have the potential to cause significant disruption, damage,
injury and loss of life, and our preparedness and our capacity to respond directly impacts outcomes for affected
communities. The continued exchange of ideas and innovations at this conference will result in improved practices
within our industry and ultimately on the ground.
The Conference Committee have worked hard to produce a diverse and topical program for you with keynote speakers
and invited speakers who represent the ever increasing depth and breadth of the emergency and disaster management
sector. We trust that you find the program engaging, informative and provocative.
On behalf of the Conference Committee, I thank you for your attendance, support and participation in what will be
another successful Australian & New Zealand Disaster and Emergency Management Conference.
Satellites rely on the atmosphere for their communication paths, which means there is not the
same vulnerability as terrestrial infrastructure when natural disasters or unforeseen events strike.
So, if your business has a critical need for ongoing communications, then using satellite as your
primary or secondary network means that you are provided with the redundancy required, and a
means of easily deploying communication equipment at short notice.
As Australia’s leading satellite provider, Optus Satellite can help your business stay in touch, no
matter where in Australia or New Zealand you are, providing you have a line of site to the satellite.
WE’LL KEEP YOU CONNECTED.

A crisis can define a CEO’s or politician’s leadership and
how many leaders have made their mark in the darkest of
hours. Leaders have an essential role in a crisis and they
must be present. The presentation will examine leaders
that had direct leadership roles in crisis events such as Tony
Hayward (BP’s ex chief) in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
in 2010 and former Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon
during the Black Saturday fires in 2009.

In the past decade alone, a person living in the Asia Pacific
region was thirty time more likely to be affected by a natural
disaster as a person living in North America or Europe.
Arguably, this places, or should place our more traditional
approaches to disaster planning and management under
the microscope to ensure they are contemporary and
considerate of an ever-changing hazard landscape.
This presentation will focus on the perils of us not
effectively embracing lessons from recent history and
explore a number of concepts to help recognise, respond
to and overcome pernicious traditions. One such concept
is that of creative disobedience; that is, creating a culture
within an organisation or structure that permits and enables
the injection of innovative solutions to novel disasters.

Overcoming Pernicious Traditions
The Asia Pacific region is the most disaster prone region
in the world. Increasingly, as a region, we are experiencing
a greater frequency of severe, catastrophic or out of
scale disasters with more devastating and wider reaching
consequences. Evolving weather and climatic patterns are
contributing to fires starting easier and burning harder,
flood waters moving quicker and traveling further and a
heightened incidence of opportunistic epidemics.
Ms Julie Molloy, Director, Social Engagement, Volunteering QLD

in a ‘crisis’, the presentation will also discuss whether it

ECU’s Master of Disaster
and Emergency Response
Proactive Disaster Management Through Data
Assimilation, Analysis, Modelling and Visualization
Dr Joanna Batstone
ECU’s Master of Disaster and Emergency Response is designed
to provide emergency services practitioners with an understanding
of the challenges involved in coordinating the scene of a major
incident or disaster. In particular, it focuses on providing leadership
and support to those involved. Graduates can use their disaster and
emergency response qualification in a range of multidisciplinary
settings, both nationally and internationally, including emergency
response agencies and non-government organisations.
Incidents and emergencies that impact public safety
happen in every community. Ranging in size and scope from
traffic accidents, water main breaks, power outages, and
criminal activity to fires, floods, cyclones, and earthquakes;
all of these events can create a strain on police and
emergency management personnel.
In this presentation, I will be describing some the diverse
activities where IBM has worked with operations personnel,
responders and managers to mitigate, prepare, respond
and recover from such events. These include use cases
from our IBM Intelligent Operations Center for Emergency
Management software to cutting edge projects in from our
research labs in Australia and around the world.
Entry is open to those with a relevant Bachelor degree or
equivalent prior learning, with at least five years professional
experience. What’s more, the course is available online and
part-time so that you can fit study around your life.

Crisis Leadership
Commissioner Katarina Carroll
‘Leadership in a crisis is very different from every
day leadership under normal conditions!’ Whilst the
It will also examine the role of the political leaders in
a crisis. Premier Anna Bligh in the 2010/11 floods in
Queensland staged the greatest come back in political
history. George Bush saw some modest approval ratings
after the attacks of 9/11 but suffered dismally as to how he
handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
An examination of these crises and the lessons from them
will enable ‘crisis leaders’ to add to their arsenal of tools to
better prepare for, respond to and recover from any crisis.
The Productivity Commission’s Assessment of
Australia’s Natural Disaster Funding Arrangements
Commissioner Jonathan Coppel
In April 2014 the Australian government tasked the
Productivity Commission to undertake a public inquiry
into the efficacy of Australia’s natural disaster funding
arrangements. In particular, the Commission was asked
to analyse the quantum, coherence, effectiveness and
sustainability of Commonwealth, state and territory
expenditures on natural disaster mitigation, resilience and
recovery and to propose reforms.
Jonathan Coppel was a Presiding Commissioner leading the
inquiry. His presentation will give an overview of the final
report and its assessment of how well Australia’s natural
disaster funding arrangements perform, the reform options
proposed and the role that wider policy measures, notably
improved hazard and risk information play in natural
disaster risk management.
Psychosocial Implications of Disaster Management
Dr Sarb Johal
People working in disaster management often have reduced
opportunities to reflect upon their work and the impact that
it may be having upon them, especially when working out
of the ‘Readiness’ phase. This opportunity to reflect can be
a critical factor in how communities - both professional
and more personal - are able to provide help for others and
themselves. The shared experience of both going through a
disaster oneself and having a job where one cares for others
303 ML ECU12068 CRICOS IPC 00279B
ECU12068_People_in_Disaster_210Wx148.5H_NEW.indd 1
5/12/16 12:21 PM
is a precarious balancing act. There is plenty of evidence
that many are able to put aside personal concerns to be
able to focus upon delivering a service, but there is a burden
attached to this.
Research has identified that rescue and recovery workers
engaged in disaster relief are at increased risk of developing
mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress
disorder, depression and anxiety. In the health sector,
patients problems are becoming increasingly complex and
the care provided for them more and more fragmented.
Efficiency savings, greater population disease burden,
and constant pressure for cost savings place increasing
pressure on resources, along with strain on relationships
between staff members, and staff and the patients they care
for. Similar tensions exist when considering the long-term
human impacts of disasters.
Psychosocial approaches to disaster management pay close
attention to the dynamic relationship that exists between
intra-individual psychological processes and impacts
and more inter-individual social processes and effects,
continually interacting with and influencing each other.
In this presentation, I outline some of the challenges
faced when delivering psychosocial services to affected
communities, or indeed when conducting research in
these situations, and puts forward some suggestions to
counteract these to thrive.
Volunteering in disasters
Ms Julie Molloy
Volunteers’ responding to a crisis situation is one of the
most distinct expressions of the human condition and one
that exemplifies the innate desire to help each other. It is
also among the most visible faces of volunteerism.
The emergency volunteering sector is made up of hundreds
of thousands of volunteers across Australia and perhaps the
clearest interpretation of authentic social capital is in the
altruism displayed by volunteers during times of crisis.
Volunteering in major disaster scenarios is viewed as the
best of society, often in the most difficult of circumstances.
Increasingly, this takes place spontaneously, outside any
organised setting. Mostly those offering to help do so in the
very early days of disasters and as it is unfolding. But the
sad reality is that help is as needed during the first few days
as much, if not more in weeks and months afterwards.
This presentation will explore some of the causes of
these emergent behaviours; however, it will acknowledge
the contribution of volunteerism extending far beyond
immediate response. We will also look at a range of
volunteer actions that should be considered in light of
societal trends, to extend the capacity of the Emergency
Volunteering sector and bolster the critical roles volunteers
currently perform across disaster management, from
preparedness through to prevention and mitigation, as well
as response and recovery.
Emerging Technology and Capability Needs
Mr Brendan Moon
The Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) was
established only five years ago and has already developed
a range of innovative and robust systems and processes to
manage Queensland’s more than $13 billion reconstruction
program.
We are continuing to build on our experience and
techniques, developing innovative solutions to ensure
Queenslanders are able to recover quickly following natural
disasters, including:
•
•
•
•
Digital damage data
Queensland Betterment fund
Online grants system for the Department of
Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services
Crowd sourcing app
QRA developed a platform for the collection of data on
damaged infrastructure immediately following a natural
disaster event – infrastructure damage assessment and
reconstruction monitoring (iDARM).
This data has been used throughout the submission process
to enable local governments and state agencies to support
requests for the reimbursement of funds under the Natural
Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA)
funding program.
QRA is further enhancing its iDARM data by digitally
capturing, through the aid of Geographic Information
System (GIS) software, the history of Natural Disaster Relief
and Recovery Arrangements works since 2011.
This project will enable a “heat map” to be produced to
identify funding spent under NDRRA on a particular asset
as well as the number of times the asset has been impacted
to help inform a whole-of-state approach for identifying
susceptible assets and critical links. These maps will assist
in the informing of local disaster management plans as well
as identify potential resilience and mitigation projects.
QRA is working with the Department of Transport and
Main Roads, as well as local government authorities,
the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, the
Department of Local Government Infrastructure and
Planning, the Department of Environment and Heritage
Protection, and the Bureau of Meteorology on the project.
