The Disaster Management Officers' Day (DMO Day) is back in 2026 and will this year follow straight on from the Australia and New Zealand Disaster Emergency Management Conference (DEMC).
DMO Day is a day just for Disaster Management Officers (DMOs) in councils across the state. It is a day to connect, share knowledge, and discuss issues that matter to you and the work you do in your communities.
