Municipal Emergency Management Plan
The Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) was developed by the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC). The plan recognises the inevitability of economic and social effects of emergencies including:
- loss of life
- destruction of property
- displacement of individuals and communities.
The aim of the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) is to detail the agreed arrangements to plan for, respond to and recover from emergencies that could occur in Frankston City as identified in Part 4 of the Emergency Management Act 1986 (Vic).

- Manage arrangements for requesting and using municipal resources in response to emergencies.
- Manage the process for resource supplementation when resources within the municipality are exhausted.
- Assist the affected communities to recover following an emergency.
- Complement and not duplicate other Local, Regional and State planning arrangements.
