A meeting held during or at the end of an operation, to assess its conduct or results.

A term not in general usage within Victoria’s arrangements, where it would be taken to mean the same as emergency. Under the Act, an emergency is termed a disaster only if a state of disaster has been declared.

Means that part or those parts of Victoria in which a state of disaster is declared to exist.

The Premier can declare a state of disaster to exist in all or part of Victoria if an emergency constitutes a significant and widespread danger to life or property, which justifies the enabling of the Coordinator in Chief, or delegate, to exercise extraordinary powers in directing and controlling agencies and resources for responding to it.
