Municipal Emergency Management Plan

Like all municipalities in Victoria, Monash has its own Municipal Emergency Management Plan for handling natural disasters and emergencies. This plan, coordinated through the Victoria Police by a Municipal Emergency Response Coordinator, sets out the procedures to be followed when Council and Community Resources are required in the case of an emergency.

Small Business Emergency Management and Recovery Package

The Small Business Australia website provides advice in how to protect your business and plan for emergencies, take appropriate action during an emergency and recover after a crisis.

Included is a template with an instruction guide that businesses can use to create their own emergency management plan. Take the time to look over this in order to prepare for the worst, rather than hope for the best.

In the Event of a Storm

The State Emergency Service (SES) assist residents with private damage during storm events. The SES can be contacted on 132 500. Please refer to their site for more information: www.ses.vic.gov.au

Alternatively, for storm damage to roads, footpaths and nature strips, contact Council's Engineering department on 9518 3409 or after hours emergencies on 9027 0692.

During a storm event there can be many locations of damage across the municipality and there could be many people affected who will be advising Council of their concerns. During these times, it would be appreciated if residents could be patient while waiting on-hold to contact Council and for us to attend the site.

Council will be clearing roads and paths to make them safe which could take some time depending on the vastness of the storm. We will then return to clear the nature strips as soon as practicable during the following weeks. It would be appreciated if the Community could assist Council to keep any debris clear of the roads and paths until it is able to be removed.
