Concluding remarks Reform of emergency management in Victoria is well underway. IGEM commends the significant progress that the sector has made in relation to the implementation of a range of actions to deliver on the intent of the White Paper. To support effective implementation of these reforms and to foster sustainable improvement of the Victorian emergency management system, the sector undertook a broad range of assurance activities including detailed analyses of given emergency management incidents and themes. While it is not possible to capture all activities in this summary report, the ongoing contribution and commitment of all sector organisations to assurance underpins the management of risks and improved delivery of mitigation, response and recovery outcomes in partnership with and for communities. Led by IGEM and EMV, system level assurance activities are vital in informing assessment of integrated sector capacity, capability and performance. They drive future decision making, investment and a sustainable and efficient emergency management system. IGEM will continue to report on sector performance, risks and progress against the sector reform program in the next Annual Assurance Summary in 2017.
