Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre
A Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre (MECC) is a facility which brings together key agencies, to coordinate the provision of council and community resources during an emergency for the response and recovery effort.

A Municipal Emergency Coordination Centre may be activated by any member of the municipal Emergency Management Coordination Group (EMCG), which includes the:

Municipal Emergency Coordination Centres are often established within Council facilities.
