PREPARE & PREVENT
Floods cause more damage than any other natural disaster in Australia. The best
way to avoid devastating damage is to prepare for flooding events.
DURING A FLOOD
Emergency services personnel, state agencies, your local council and others in
the community will be working hard to manage the response to a flood, and keep
people and property safe throughout the whole community. Learn how you can help.
RECOVERY
Flood dangers do not end when the water begins to recede. What you do
immediately after a flood will affect your health and safety and can reduce your
losses considerably.

involved in helping to prevent, prepare and recover from floods in Victoria.

WELCOME
Flooding is natural and cannot be stopped and can have both positive and
negative impacts.
The positive impacts of flooding, for example, include water for wetland
ecosystems and replenishing soil moisture and nutrients.
The negative impacts can bring substantial damages to homes and
businesses, critical infrastructure and to farming, such as agriculture and
crops. However, the negative effects of floods can be reduced with good
planning and the right actions.
Flood planning and action is a shared community responsibility. Local, state and
federal governments all have a role to play in reducing the damage from floods
in Victoria but so do you and your neighbours.
