Safer and more resilient communities

The Victorian Government has welcomed the Phase Two Report of the Inspector-General for Emergency Management (IGEM) and all 15 recommendations that will collectively ensure the emergency management sector, local governments and communities are better placed to manage relief and recovery from bushfires and other emergencies.

Winners of the 2021 Victorian Resilient Australia Awards were announced this week, celebrating initiatives that build whole-of-community resilience to disasters and emergencies.

Victorians can soon start preparing for the upcoming fire season and complete fire prevention works around their properties in regional Victoria.
