Safer and more resilient communities

As I reflect on the situation in NSW and QLD, my thoughts are very much with the firefighters, emergency services and in particular, the communities impacted by fires in those states.

Victoria's new campaign to reinforce the deadly risks of fire and the importance of planning and preparing for the fire season has been launched.

Emergency services put their plans into practice by holding an evacuation exercise of Powelltown, Gilderoy and Three Bridges last Saturday 26 October.
