I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The Department of Fire and Emergency Services
advises as follows.
(1) An SRCG was
established for the Wooroloo bushfires on 5 February 2021 and an SRCG was
established for tropical cyclone Seroja on 22 April 2021.
(2) Regarding the
membership of each SRCG, there are two quite long lists of agencies
represented, so I wonder if I might seek leave to have them incorporated into Hansard .
