25.01.2022 There are a number of Local Flood Guides for at-risk townships across the State on the VICSES website where you can get to know your local risk, potential impacts and how a flood might behave in your local area. www.ses.vic.gov.au/get-ready/your-local-flood-information

22.01.2022 It’s important to have access to official emergency warnings and information, especially during the summer season. The Vic Emergency app combines up-to- date emergency warnings with rain radars, fire danger ratings, total fire bans, thunderstorm trackers, and more, for all of Victoria. You can also use it to set one or more ‘watch zones’ around your home, your workplace, or those of your loved ones to ensure you’re always notified when an emergency is happening near you. Vic Emergency app is free to download from iTunes or the Google Play store.
