The SEMC strategises, organises and oversees the coordination and continuous improvement of emergency management in Western Australia by:

• promoting shared understanding and responsibility across whole of government and the wider community
• establishing an emergency management framework based on a risk management approach
• promoting preparedness for emergencies to minimise their impact and accelerate recovery
• providing advice to government on any matter in relation to emergency management.

The SEMC Secretariat provides a range of services and administrative support to the SEMC.
