Where to Get Help
Australian States and Territories Fire and Emergency Services Agencies provide comprehensive information and tools to help you and your community prepare for bushfire and other hazards. Prepare your Men’s Shed evacuation plan and Bushfire Survival Plan.
Your local council can provide preparedness information for your region and connect you to community resilience groups. When moving to a new area or travelling on holidays, check the relevant council website for local preparedness plans, including where to go in an emergency.

The tragedy that unfolded in Shoalhaven City during the 2019-2020 bushfires, and following that, extreme floods, is something that we had never experienced before. Only a commitment to do things differently from all levels of government, industry and the community, will help us change how future catastrophes will impact us. This Resilience Rating is the first step in changing the story for our communities, making them resilient, adapted and ready to face an uncertain future climate.
