ISLAMIC COUNCIL OF VICTORIA

COMMUNITY Risk Assessment FEEDBACK Form

The Islamic Council of Victoria is conducting a project focusing on the safety of the Victorian Muslim community.
This stage of the project is intended to concentrate on the risk related aspects, in case of an emergency, disaster or a backlash.

Your participation is vital and is an important contribution towards establishing an effective plan and systems to reduce the risks and help keep people and property safe, especially in times of concern. This community safety initiative is a partnership between Federal and State Governments and the Muslim community. It needs effective input from the Muslim community to make it successful.
