Presentation Transcript

  1. The socialisation of risk How does this impact on continuity planning?

  2. Welcome to Queensland Rail • Housekeeping • Toilets • Drinks • Evacuation procedures • Feedback and Continuity Forum information • Safety Share

  3. The socialisation of risk • Is this what we mean by “the nanny state”? • The balance between rights and responsibilities • How does a failure to take personal responsibility contribute to increased risk? • Is this a conscious change in society or an example of exploiting an opportunity?

  4. Impacts on response and recovery • Disproportionate demand on response agencies • Inability to manage and coordinate at a personal level • The ‘personal emergency’ • Transfers a lack of resilience • Raises the profile of volunteering

  5. What have we learnt in the past 121 years?

  6. How do we plan for this? • Training, education and awareness • Carrot and stick approach – what’s the incentive? • Do we influence opinion, stand up and fight, or go with the flow? • What benefits can be derived for individuals, organisations and communities – and can they be aligned?

  7. Team discussions • Who has done what? • In small groups… • discuss what your organisation has done, or approaches you have seen from others, • what successes and failures have occurred, and • could better planning genuinely have changed the outcome? Present your outcomes to the group – prep time 10 minutes, presentation time 2 minutes!

  8. Group discussion How do the following genuinely help? • Surf Life Saving Australia…if we can’t see you, we can’t save you • Get Ready Queensland…if you do a little, we all accomplish a lot • Influenza inoculation Does anybody have a favourite success or failure story about a major organisation or campaign?

  9. Thank You If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me stephen.morgan@qr.com.au I look forward to seeing you at the next Continuity Forum presentation
