8	Emergency management
Emergency management aims to reduce the level of risk to the community of emergencies occurring, reduce the adverse effects of emergency events, and improve the level and perception of safety in the community. This chapter in the Report on Government Services 2007 (2007 Report) reports on selected emergency events, including fire, ambulance (pre‑hospital care, treatment and transport) and emergency road rescue events. The chapter does not report on the total range of State and Territory Emergency Services Organisation activities.
Indigenous data in the emergency management chapter
The emergency management chapter in the 2007 Report contains no data items on Indigenous people.
Some jurisdictions have particular arrangements for the provision of fire services to Indigenous communities. (For more information on fire services provided to Indigenous communities, see SCRCSSP 2002, p. 572.)
