The Shire of Harvey is in the process of developing a plan using the Bushfire Risk Management System.

A Bush Fire Risk Management Plan is a document that:

• Identifies bushfire related risk at the strategic level and priorities area of the local government.
• Identifies assets of value that are at risk from bushfires.
• Documents the risk ratings.
• Documents treatment strategies.

   

The Shire's Local Emergency Management Arrangements and Local Recovery Plan documents are in place to bring together hazard management agencies, local support organisations and industry representatives to assist in dealing with a major emergency.
