Being prepared at home, at school, at work

Civil Defence in your community is managed by your local council. Click here to locate your nearest council.

Earthquakes, floods, storms and volcanic eruptions all have one thing in common: the potential to ruin everything we have worked for – homes, treasured possessions and possibly the loss of a loved one. Disasters happen quickly and without compassion. We can't prevent disasters but we can all take simple steps to reduce the impact, and be better prepared to recover quickly.
