The City of Clarence plays an integral role in emergency management. We have resources that may be directly utilised, and have access to other resources that may be required when responding to and recovering from an emergency.
The City of Clarence Municipal Emergency Management Plan details how the city will reduce emergency-related risks to the community. It also provides a way to mitigate and counter the impact and effects of an emergency that may arise within the municipal area.
In instances of severe weather events, the Severe Weather Event Procedure (PDF) outlines how we prepare for and manage severe weather events. It includes steps we take to reduce risks, keep services running, and support recovery efforts. With severe weather becoming more frequent due to climate change, having a clear and coordinated approach is more important than ever.
