This project focuses on increasing interagency coordination in the emergency management sector of Victoria by working with the Australian Red Cross and Emergency Management Victoria. Exploratory conversations and surveys were conducted to learn about the current communication opportunities between Victorian volunteer organizations. The knowledge gained from these analyses was used to devise a set of recommendations to improve coordination among these organizations. This may be implemented in future efforts to strengthen the emergency management sector of Victoria and improve experiences for all volunteers.
