Council’s ongoing commitment is to provide safety and security for all residents and visitors to the city. An important part of this is to be prepared for any emergency.
What is an Emergency
An emergency, be it a natural disaster like a flood or storm, bushfire, a power outage or a terrorist act, can occur quickly and without warning. Being informed about what to do in an emergency means you can help yourself and others when an incident happens. This website defines an emergency as any incident that:
- could cause significant injury or death
- could cause significant damage or disruption to your property
- poses an environmental threat to your family that requires sudden and urgent action by individuals and agencies.
We recommend you take some time to read the information contained on this website and become familiar with your own emergency plans (home and work). By working together, we can be prepared for any emergency.
Should you have any comments or suggestions for improvement to this website, we'd love to hear from you.
