Emergencies and natural disasters

If you're in a life-threatening situation,
or you're unsure of what to do in an emergency,
call 000 for police, fire and ambulance.

What we do and what you can do to keep your property clean and fire-ready.

Emergencies can strike without warning, and it's important that you and your family know what you will do.

Heat can be a serious risk to our health and wellbeing, so we need to carefully manage our daily activity during an extreme weather event.

Pets and emergencies

If you own pets, animals or livestock, it’s important to prepare for their safety and welfare in the case of an emergency.

Storms and flooding

Storms occur regularly and differ in severity. They can be a safety risk to your family, pets, house, and business.

Power outages

Severe weather, such as lightning, floods, heatwaves, bushfires, high winds, or trees contacting power lines can cause loss of power to your home. Be prepared if there is a power outage.

Thunderstorm asthma

Thunderstorm asthma can be caused by thunderstorms and a high pollen count. Find out how you can protect yourself and what to do if you are affected.

Municipal Emergency Management Plan

We work with emergency services, government and community organisations to ensure emergency planning is effective and provides the best possible outcomes for all of us.

Our Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) addresses the prevention of, response to, and recovery from, emergencies in Brimbank. Call us on 03 9249 4000 for a copy of the plan.
