There are eleven emergency management districts in Western Australia. Each district has a District Emergency Management Committee (DEMC) established by the Emergency Management Act 2005. The DEMCs assist the State Emergency Management Committee (SEMC) and carry out their functions across the state.
The role of the DEMC is to create strong interagency networks and to ensure effective coordination of emergency management activities across the district.
The DEMC Handbook is for DEMC Members to provide guidance to DEMC Chairs, Deputy Chairs, Executive Officers and Members, whilst promoting state-wide consistency and understanding of the DEMCs roles and responsibilities.
