Resilience glossaries

The Queensland Disaster Management Lexicon (the Lexicon) establishes a resource for common language within the Queensland disaster management sector. The Lexicon promotes a shared situational awareness during events, contextualised to Queensland's disaster management arrangements. This shared languages enables a greater degree of interoperability across State and federal agencies, local councils and non-government organisations involved in all phases of disaster management in Queensland. The Lexicon aims to not only provide a clear definition for terms used across the disaster management sector, but also clarify the relationship between similar terms used.

This Glossary is designed for the policymakers, practitioners and other stakeholders who work in the many fields that contribute to reducing the health risks and consequences of all types of emergencies and disasters. It was developed to remedy the lack of standardized terminology in the field of Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health EDRM), which had become apparent during the process of establishing the WHO Health Emergencies Programme and developing the Health EDRM Framework.
