Residential

It has never been more important to get prepared for whatever comes next. We want to prepare residents for emergencies through the development of an emergency household plan and by downloading the Get Prepared App.

STEP ONE

Download the Get Prepared App and create an emergency plan for yourself and your family, including who to contact and safe places to evacuate to, which you can refer to when needed. You can also download a paper version to create an emergency Rediplan(PDF, 2MB).

STEP TWO

Work through your Rediplan(PDF, 2MB) and share it. Establish your network of support with your key contacts. Share your plan with the people you know and can ask for help in an emergency

STEP THREE

Understand your risks and where to get information. Locate your local emergency services contacts and know where to find information. Identify a safe meeting place and ways to manage your wellbeing.  Council’s Climate Wise Communities Ready Check can assist you in identify your risks.

STEP FOUR

Download and use the survival kit checklist –  using simple checklists that help you complete the important actions that make you prepared for emergencies.

Once you have completed the steps, check how prepared you are for disasters and emergencies? Take the Disaster Quiz.
