Communicating in Recovery Guidelines

Guidance
The ‘Communicating in Recovery Guidelines’ has been developed to support local government with recovery communications activities, at each stage of an emergency (before, during and after).
Last updated:

These guidelines have been developed using the ‘National Principles of Disaster Recovery’ and to be used in conjunction with the ‘Communicating in Recovery’ resource book first published by the Australian Red Cross in 2011.

The guidelines provide:

  • advice about the key functions that are required within a recovery communications team in a large recovery effort
  • advice about the most appropriate flow of information at particular stages of recovery
  • templates for recovery communications activities
  • information on how to activate State Government advice to support recovery communications
  • information about the Australian Red Cross ‘Communicating in Recovery’ resource book.
