The Prepare Together Project aims to improve the long-term resilience of our community to natural hazards including bushfires, storms and other major emergencies.
The consequences of natural disasters can range from water contamination and road closures through to the loss of personal items and homes, injury and even death. However, there are steps that people can take to prepare for potential emergencies and reduce the impacts of disasters.
The Prepare Together Project provides residents with information and resources to better understand potential risks and weather forecasts, access up-to-date alerts and warnings, and prepare household emergency plans and kits.
Information sessions
Prepare Together information sessions for residents and community groups are held at various locations throughout the City. Discussion topics include:
- Risks within the City of Wanneroo
- How many natural hazards are becoming more frequent and intense
- How to prepare your property and home for a fire
- Understanding alerts and warnings
- Where to get information before, during and after an emergency
- The importance of preparing household emergency plans, and including pets and animals in those plans
- Preparing a household emergency kit.
