GLASSHOUSE COUNTRY DISASTER MANAGEMENT NETWORK (GCDMN)
The GCDMN recognises the value
of a strong, supportive and resilient local disaster management community network.
Who we are:
The GCDMN is primarily a community led resource and information collaboration between local community and services groups from across Glasshouse Country. This local disaster management community network primarily
collects local information for a local community contacts and resource directory to support the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG), which they may use in times of major emergency events.
In times of severe weather and disaster events, please refer to the Sunshine Coast Disaster Hub to keep informed of all current updates and alerts. http://disaster.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Our History
The GCDM Network evolved from a series of workshops held in 2019, which explored how local community groups and services could best support each other in times of major emergency events.
These workshops lead to the development of a localised handbook, and a directory of contacts and resources to be utilised by the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) in times of disasters and emergencies.
This local community contacts and resource directory is regularly maintained by the GCDMN coordination team.
What we do
Our purpose is to collect local information on GCDMN members’ representatives contact details, and the available resources and equipment for use by the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) in the event of major emergency events. As a disaster management community network, our role is only to assist share information and be a communication conduit in times of major emergency events.
Our role therefore is to provide the Sunshine Coast Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) with a collaborative database of community resources and services only and share and communicate public information.
