The State Emergency Service, as part of its Storm and Flood Ready Program, is working with local communities at high risk of flooding to develop Community Protection Flood Plans and guides to help to build local community resilience in the face of flooding events.
If you are experiencing flooding, contact SES Floods and Storms hotline: 132 500.
In life threatening emergencies call Triple Zero (000).
