This plan focuses on strengthening local capacity to prepare for, respond to and recover from a range of disasters including bushfires, heatwaves, storms, floods, service disruptions, landslides, drowning incidents, pandemics and other local risks.
The primary aim is to empower individuals and communities to share responsibility for disaster preparedness and contribute actively to local resilience.
The plan supports practical, community-level actions that help people to:
- know where and how to access accurate information during emergencies
- prepare to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours
- build and maintain strong social connections with neighbours, family and friends to provide mutual support.
The actions and strategies included in this plan are focused on fostering awareness, preparedness, connectedness and shared responsibility across the community.
