Community Emergency Management Plans - Seymour, Kilmore, Tallarook and Tooborac

This survey has now closed. Community feedback will help inform the draft plans, once they have been developed the draft will go out to the community for further consultation.

 For more information on this project, please contact our Emergency Management Team on 5734 6200.

We are working with the communities of Seymour, Kilmore, Tallarook and Tooborac to adopt a community-based approach to preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergency events by delivering resilience activities and developing Community Emergency Management Plans.

Community plans are those emergency management plans developed by and for a specific community in conjunction with the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee or local Control Agencies (such as CFA, SES, Victoria Police, etc.).

Development of Community plans allows members of a community to participate in decision making processes that affect them directly, and to foster the development of relationships across the Emergency Management Sector.

Within Mitchell Shire, there are a number of communities that have been identified as higher risk, and the Mitchell Shire Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee are keen to engage people living in these areas with the intention of developing Community Emergency Management Plans.

How to get involved

To ensure these plans are specific to your community, please complete the survey below to allow us to understand your knowledge of the risks and the planning you currently undertake to manage emergencies in your home and community.
