Bushfires can be scary, but understanding where to go to for assistance and support during or immediately after an emergency event is particularly helpful. The response phase of emergency management focuses on saving lives and protecting community assets (buildings, roads, animals, crops and infrastructure).

It is important to keep in contact with your local Council as they provide support and assistance in the immediate response to any emergency.

The following resources will help you learn about what available services and support is available, and how you can access during or after an emergency.
