Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere

The Ministry for Ethnic Communities and the National Emergency Management Agency have worked together to create this series of videos, so our communities know what to do to prepare for different disasters and emergencies, and how to respond when they happen.

Household emergency plan template

A household emergency plan lets everyone in your household know what to do in an emergency and how to get ready. Having a plan helps make actual emergency situations less stressful. Make a plan with your family to get through an emergency. Think about the things you need every day and work out what you would do if you didn't have them.
