The Redland City Local Recovery Group (LRG) will be activated by the Chair of the Redland City LDMG to coordinate the recovery process when communities have been impacted by disaster events. The activation of the LRG is based on the escalation model shown in the table, which describes the Recovery activation levels in comparison with the Response activation levels.

Note that the Recovery activation levels follow closely behind the Response activation levels and therefore the Local Recovery Group actions are triggered early in the event cycle, before the disaster has occurred. Depending on the nature, location and size of the event, recovery operations may be managed either at the local level, or through a combination of local and district arrangements, enabling Redland City Council to address community vulnerability and build community resilience.
