Fire, Flood & Emergencies

Council has an important role in emergency management. We're there to assist communities to prepare for emergencies, working with communities to understand and build resilience. If an emergency does occur in the Shire, we're there to support communities to respond and recover.

Vic Emergency has information about current emergencies and how to prepare for and recover from an event.

After Emergencies
