Australian Emergency Manual Series
The Australian Emergency Manuals series (AEMs) has been developed to assist in the management and delivery of support services in a disaster context. The principles, strategies and actions within the AEMs have been compiled by practitioners and managers with extensive service delivery experience in a range of disaster events.
This series has been developed by a national consultative committee representing a range of State and Territory agencies and is sponsored by the Attorney-General's Department. Each title within the series is reviewed on a regular basis.
