Consider your preparation for an emergency or natural disaster - it's the smart thing to do!

An emergency incident can affect critical infrastructure and interrupt the supply of water and electricity, communication networks and transport. Some emergency situations will interrupt the supply of food and other essential items.

Emergencies, such as bushfire, flood, influenza pandemic, cyclone, storms and earthquakes, can happen anywhere and at any time of the year. They can occur with little or no warning and often cause financial, physical, environmental and psychological damage and injury and can result in loss of life.

Being prepared for emergencies can reduce their impact on you and your family.
