The Queensland Crisis Communications Network has been established to bring key government and stakeholder communicators together to provide a single point of truth during a disaster or crisis whilst also supporting those at the coalface in our most disaster-prone state.

Prue Laven, Penny Dahl and Lachlan Clark from the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, and Chrissie McLeod from the Queensland Police Service talk about this EMPA Award-winning group at the July webinar.  They discuss how the CCN operates and the obstacles faced during the Queensland Government’s communications response to recent cascading disaster events.

The QCCN demonstrates the way the EMPA Principles provide a strong foundation for good emergency communication, especially #1 A seat at the table and #5 Creating networks.
