IAEM Oceania

by Scott Milne, Australian National Representative

On behalf of the members of the International Association of Emergency Managers I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all those people whose family members and friends have died or been injured, and to those who have lost pets and property in the Victorian bushfires. Our thoughts are also with those who are displaced, who have lost their homes in Victoria and the people of NSW and South Australia where fires are burning in those states.

We extend our best wishes to the people of Queensland who are suffering the wreckage of their homes and businesses through flooding, and to those who are assisting with response and recovery efforts.

Our thanks go to our own IAEM members in all of the services both staff and volunteers, for your ongoing magnificent efforts in both the bushfires and the floods.
