Community emergency guidance

Fortunately, emergencies situations are rare, but we're still at risk from a wide range of incidents that we hope will never affect us.

Our Community Emergency Guidance document (PDF, 3 MB)(opens new window) aims to provide residents and business proprietors with:

• details of who to contact in an emergency
• advice on steps that can be taken to help protect themselves and their properties
• who can help and provide information on the kind of assistance that could be made available
