18/15 Emergency Movement Control
Director's Guideline for Civil Defence Emergency Management Groups [DGL 18/15]
The purpose of this guideline is to describe the major considerations and
best practice approaches for the preparation and execution of emergency
movement control. This guideline is focused primarily on large scale
emergencies; however, many of the concepts and processes translate to
smaller scale events.
Movement control is the process of managing access to public thoroughfares
(roads and walkways), and to and from property.
Implementing emergency movement control reduces risk to the public and
response personnel, and minimises interruptions to response operations.
