After Emergency

When an emergency occurs it will affect different communities and different people in different ways. Council will work with all other organisations to quickly develop an emergency recovery plan. This plan will outline all aspects of community recovery. Key information relating to the recovery effort will be posted on this website.

If you have dealt with a stressful event you might find it helpful to talk it over with a local GP. You might also find it helpful to contact a counselling or personal support service or a telephone help line.
