Funding
Natural disasters can have a significant impact on Western Australian (WA) communities, meaning a collaborative and coordinated approach is required to mitigate against, withstand and recover from disasters.
The State Emergency Management Committee (SEMC) oversees the allocation of
funding that supports reducing risk and enhancing the development of disaster resilient communities. This approach emphasises the importance the SEMC places on collaboration between all sectors of our community to share in the responsibility of disaster mitigation.
