Extreme Weather Conditions

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:37): Does a declared major incident, as opposed to a declared emergency, bring in any other differences in terms of, for example, in hospitals where people need generators for medical equipment or the surveillance and monitoring of elderly people? Are there any other differences in that regard?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:38): I understand that, in respect of the issues the Hon. Ms Vincent just raised, they were treated in the way that they would regarding their own emergency management arrangements, like within health, for instance, around generators and the like, so to the best of my advice the answer to that question would be no.
