Preparing KI: A Whole-of-Island Disaster Risk Reducation and Mitigation Action Plan
The Preparing KI Action Plan is Kangaroo Island Council’s roadmap to delivering on and implementing its locally-identified priorities, and broader opportunities, to mitigate disaster risk, pursue enhanced climate adaptation and improve overall resilience.
This Action Plan is directly informed by and aligned with the priorities of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework (NDRRF) which highlights the ongoing need to understand risks, deliver accountable decisions, enhance investment and focus on governance, ownership and responsibility. This Action Plan articulates Kangaroo Island’s Council’s priority needs and activities across these national priorities for disaster risk reduction and mitigation. This Action Plan therefore provides a clear line of sight between local need and the resilience, disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation policy environment at regional, state and federal levels.
The Preparing KI Action Plan also serves a role in terms of recovery. The strategic and technical methodologies applied to inform this Action Plan may offer benefit in times of recovery and in informing recovery action options.
The Preparing KI Action Plan is intended to be championed across all areas of Council to better integrate and embed disaster risk reduction activities and opportunities as part of day-to-day decision making, through standard processes, and to inform decision-making of Council.
