Debriefing sessions for Longwood bushfire locals were due to be held last week (Tues., June 16).
Residents impacted by the Longwood\u2013Berrys Lane Bushfire were invited to participate in a debrief to help reflect on the response and early recovery efforts of Strathbogie Council after the January fires.
Council CEO Rachelle Quattrocchi said the review was an opportunity for residents to share their experiences and perspectives to help inform future emergency management and recovery practices.
\u201cCommunity feedback is an important part of continuous improvement and ensuring lessons are captured directly from those impacted,\u201d she said.
\u201cThe objective of the debrief is to identify what worked and what can be improved in Council\u2019s incident response\u201d Ms Quattrocchi said.
The community sessions were facilitated by experienced emergency management consultant Paul Jerome (pcitured), from Emergency Management Consultancy Services Pty Ltd.
\u201cThis community debrief provides an opportunity to share experiences, insights and feedback in a safe and respectful environment and we welcome your insights,\u201d Mr Jerome said.
\u201cWe need to acknowledge the fatigue, stress, emotions and loss participants will have experienced during the fire, as well as the lessons learned and identify what worked well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
