Emergency Management and Disaster Resilience

Key Emergency Contacts

Council plays a supporting role in the response to emergency events and disasters. We help you know who to call and how to get the most current information.

Local Emergency Management Plan

The Local Emergency Management Plan (EMPLAN) details the response and recovery arrangements within the Singleton Local Government Area to ensure a coordinated response during emergency incidents.

Bush Fire

Information about fire safety, fire trails, hazard reduction burning, Neighbourhood Safe Places and how to prepare your family and property for a bush fire event.

Flood and Storm

Information about flooding and storms, and how to prepare your family and property for severe storms or flooding events.

Heatwave

Everyone needs to take care in hot weather, but some people are at higher risk of heat illness. Plan ahead to keep yourself cool during a heatwave.

Human Infectious Disease

To avoid the spread of infectious disease, it is vitally important that individuals and communities are aware of the mitigation measures that can be undertaken.

Infrastructure Failure

More frequent disasters of greater magnitude, and a heightened risk profile in relation to criminal threats including cyber-attack, mean NSW’s infrastructure and organisations must be more resilient than ever.

Landslide and Earthquake

Earthquakes and landslides can be devastating. Make a plan to protect yourself and your family.

Biosecurity

Biosecurity measures protect our economy, environment and community from pests, diseases, weeds and contaminants.

Get Ready Teams

Get Ready Teams are led by the community for the local community, and provide a way for residents to support each other and improve capacity for disaster resilience.

Community Resilience Network

The Singleton Community Resilience Network (CRN) is convened to support the Singleton Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) and Singleton Council in fulfilling local functional responsibility for human and social wellbeing in disaster resilience and recovery.

Emergency Services Internship

Be ready for anything after your Singleton Emergency Services Internship.

Regional Drought Resilience Plan

The Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program aims to build capability and empower regional communities to plan and act early to reduce and respond to drought risks.
