Emergency Information
The Shire has developed plans and structures to bring together government, voluntary and private agencies in a coordinated way to deal with major emergencies through its Local Emergency Management Committee. Plans cover the whole spectrum of emergency needs, including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
The Shire’s Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) is a committee established under the Emergency Management Act that advises and assists the Shire in ensuring that local emergency management arrangements are established for its district.
The LEMC membership draws on the Shire of Boyup Brook, WA Police Service, Department of Fire and Emergency Services, St John Ambulance, DFES Fire and Rescue Service and Department for Community Development.
An Emergency Management Evacuation Plan has also been created by the Shire of Boyup Brook to deal with bushfires, floods, severe weather, hazardous materials incident and civil disturbances.
Australian Warning System
Our climate is complex but now there’s a new simple warning system for natural disasters. There are three warning levels that are the same for bushfires, storms, floods, cyclones and heatwaves. These warning levels move up and down to reflect the risk to your life or property, before during and after a natural disaster. Learning these three levels, and how to respond to them, could save your life. Get to know the new warning system by visiting www.emergency.wa.gov.au/aws
