Today the NSW Premier announced the creation of a new NSW
Government Executive Agency, Resilience NSW.Led by Shane Fitzsimmons as its Commissioner, Resilience NSW
will drive world-leading disaster preparedness and recovery for the NSW
community.
As Commissioner, Shane will bring together for the first time
ever our preparedness, prevention and recovery efforts across floods, storms,
pandemics, bushfires, cyber, and national arrangements.
The past six months have shown that more than ever, a whole of
government approach is critical to help the NSW community recover from
difficult circumstances as quickly as possible, and it is fantastic to have
someone with such significant operational and leadership experience to drive
our future responses to disasters and state-significant incidents. It will also
be important to take the lessons from the challenges our state has experienced
and improve our preparedness going forward.
Shane will transition into the new role over the next month and
will also take up a role as a Deputy Secretary within Premier & Cabinet so
he can drive necessary change, quickly.
