As part of the annual risk management

of whole-of-zoo management risks. All Zoo
Managers and Curators undertook Sectional
Risk Assessments. Other work included the
ongoing program of emergency drills to test
emergency procedures and staff roles in
emergencies. An Emergency Management
Action Group was established during the
year to address and coordinate emergency
management within the Zoo. A test of the
Business Continuity Plan was conducted and
outcomes reviewed. Findings were documented

and procedures.
