A local government is to establish one or more local emergency management committees for the local government’s district.

If more than one local emergency management committee is established, the local government is to specify the area in respect of which the committee is to exercise its functions.

A local emergency management committee consists of —

a chairman and other members appointed by the relevant local government in accordance with subsection (4); and

if the local emergency coordinator is not appointed as chairman of the committee, the local emergency coordinator for the local government district.

Subject to this section, the constitution and procedures of a local emergency management committee, and the terms and conditions of appointment of members, are to be determined by the SEMC.
