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. Further examples can be found using the links below.
