State Hazard Plans

​Each defined and prescribed hazard has a dedicated State Hazard Plan (Westplan) that outlines the arrangements on how to manage that hazard across the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery spectrum. State Hazard Plans (Westplans) are available below.

The SEMC has delegated responsibility for the development, maintenance, review and exercising of relevant State Hazard Plans (Westplans) to the agencies prescribed as HMAs in Part 3 of the EM Regulations. 

The process of amalgamating similar Westplans, and converting all Westplans into State Hazard Plans is still underway. The new State Hazard Plans will be released as they become available and will replace the corresponding Westplans. 

Details of amendments are available on the Amendments to State EM Documents page. ​Superseded State Hazard Plans and Westplans are available upon request to the State Emergency Management Policy Branch at semc.policylegislation@dfes.wa.gov.au.
