Emergency Management Victoria was delegated by the State Crisis and Resilience Council to facilitate the development of the Emergency Management Strategic Action Plan Update 2023-26. 

The development of the 2023-26 SAP would not have been possible without the leadership from the emergency management sector, members of the SCRC, and its sub-committees. The support from SAP action leads and project owners provided valuable input and guidance throughout the process.
