| The South Gippsland Shire is committed to providing information that may assist the general community to both prepare for and respond in the time of emergency.
Already this year we have been faced with bushfire and storm damage. We are also confronted with further potential for emergencies such as earthquakes and pandemics, or a major road accident or oil spill.
The potential for these hazards will always exist within our community. Council chairs and manages the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee whose duty it is to prepare plans for action and coordinate these action plans in times of emergencies.
Council works in conjunction with all the emergency service organisations, state government departments, water industry, health industry and other associated bodies within this committee.
