The Town of Cambridge Local Recovery Plan(PDF, 596KB) has been prepared in accordance with Section 41(4) of the Emergency Management Act 2005 and forms part of the Local Emergency Management Arrangements for the Town of Cambridge.

On the 26 September 2017, the Council adopted a Local Emergency Recovery Plan (2017) for the Town of Cambridge

The purpose of the Local Recovery Plan is to describe the arrangements for effectively managing recovery at a local level, including accountability and responsibility.

The aim of the Local Recovery Plan is to record the recovery management arrangements in place and to restore, as quickly as possible, the quality of life in an affected community, so that affected parties can continue to function as part of the wider community.
