While uncommon, our community can be affected by events such as bushfires, floods, storms, interruptions to essential services or transport routes, and biosecurity or public health emergencies.
Council works with key agencies to assess these risks and put measures in place to reduce their impact. Depending on the situation, Council may act as a support agency alongside organisations such as Tasmania Police, the Tasmania Fire Service, the State Emergency Service and other specialist responders.
Below is general guidance to help you prepare for emergencies and find the right information when you need it.
