WELCOMEOn behalf of my colleagues in NSW and ACT, we are proud to host AFAC24 powered by INTERSCHUTZ. The committees have focused on developing a conference program that demonstrates the rigorous knowledge, passion and practice across the emergency management sector. The theme of this year’s conference is Embracing innovation and disruption: designing the future for our sector. This theme has helped shape a stimulating program, beginning with our AFAC Research and Innovation Day and expanding to seven concurrent streams on days two and three. The conference will explore the importance of implementing new ideas and technologies to help shape the emergency management sector and reduce the increasingly complex disaster risks now and in the future. On the 30th anniversary of the AFAC Conference and Exhibition, we are pleased to present a strong program, which complements inspiring keynote and invited speakers. We look forward to welcoming you to Sydney to share knowledge, build relationships and discuss the ways we can strengthen the future of the emergency management sector.

LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS DAY 2 | Wednesday 4 Sept 1.30pm – 2.00pm ARO Crash Scene Extrication The Australasian Rescue Organisation (ARO) Road Crash Rescue (RCR) demonstration will feature a Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) General Land Rescue (GLR) Unit performing a rescue of a casualty entrapped within a vehicle. The en-trapment is created by the compression of the bodywork around the casualty which in this case is simulated by the collision of the vehicle into a standing object, a power pole. To perform the rescue in a timely manner, the team must winch the car sideways, clear of the pole so the rescue work (disentanglement and extrication) can be undertaken. The team will demonstrate safe and e ective winching techniques. The casualty will be a dummy or have a dummy arm, this arm will be trapped by compression between the B Post and the seat. The rescue team will release the entrapment, create an egress path and remove the casualty. During the demonstration, ARO and FRNSW will provide a commentary as to the objectives and tactics being de-ployed by the crew.Additional session times: Thursday 1.00pm – 1.30pm 2.00pm – 2.30pm FotoKite The Fotokite Sigma Roof Top Box mounted on PSTR Groups Dodge RAM mobile support and command centre is launched with a single button to a maximum height of 45 metres can stay aloft inde nitely providing real time situational awareness live streaming real time imagery to local, networked and remote command centres.

ANZBA EMSB EmergencyManagement of Severe Burns Course The patient with a severe burn injury presents a difficultchallenge. In addition to the pain and distress experiencedby the patient, the implications of this life-threateninginjury extend beyond mere survival. Potentially permanentchanges to appearance, function and independence impactnot only on employment and income, but also on the generalwellbeing and long-term quality of life for both the patientand their families. It is widely accepted that the trauma patient who is seen, assessed and treated early by skilled personnel will heal more quickly than the patient whose treatment is delayed. This is also true for the burn patient. It is important the right treatment is instigated quickly not only to save a person’s life but to maximise their functional outcome. The Emergency Management of Severe Burns (EMSB) course is based on the principle that timely emergency assessment, recognition, management, stabilisation and transfer provide the best chance of recovery. The aim of this one-day course is to provide candidates with sufficient information regarding the presentation, diagnosis and initial management of the patient with severe burn injuries, to enable them to deal competently with this urgent and often life-threatening problem.Annually 16-20 EMSB courses are presented throughout Australia and New Zealand. The course is also presented under license from ANZBA in the UK, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Germany, South Africa, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Fiji, Bangladesh.https://anzba.org.au/education/emsb/ L3HARRIS AALTO HAPS Limited DAY 2 WEDESDAY 4 SEPTEMBER Australian & New Zealand Burn Association 2.20 – 2.40pm 1.05 – 1.25pm 2.45 – 3.05pm Director GovernmentGlobal Sales, AALTO-HAPS Mission-Critical CommunicationsAccount Manager ANZ, L3HarrisPush-to-Talk Communications ➤ Challenges that have emerged using current LMR systems ➤ What new capabilities manufacturers are working towards to enhance firefighter safety Prevention: Prevention is a key aspect of the ethos of the Australian NewZealand Burns Association. Both Australia and New Zealandincorporates many different cultures, ages and industries,which requires prevention education to be delivered in manydomains, including social media and schools. ANZBA and its affiliated burns services possess a unique body of knowledge, expertise and facts and are well poised to know the consequences of burn injuries. Burn services contribute data to a world-leading burn registry, BRANZ which is administered by Monash University in Melbourne, supported by funding from ANZBA and ACC in New Zealand. Registry data provides invaluable insight and understanding into the mechanism, extent and consequence of injury that can inform change and action in both the community and government that will make our environments a safer place. As clinicians we are all aware of the positive impact of education on the community, especially as most burns are preventable.
