Congratulations to Emma from Baldivis who won a $500 Visa gift card for completing our Animal Emergency Preparedness Survey. (Competition now closed).
You can still do your bit by completing the survey if you keep livestock on a rural property in the City of Rockingham. The survey results will help us assess the level of emergency preparedness in our community. Thinking about emergency preparedness will also assist you to plan for emergency situations to keep your animals/livestock safe.
There are two surveys: one for private landowners/residents and the other for commercial entities. Please take the time to complete a survey to reduce the impact of disasters and help improve the resilience of the Rockingham community.

We would like all of our residents to consider their emergency preparedness, relevant to their personal circumstances. Our community is at risk of encountering an emergency at any time, from bushfires to storms.

Having a good understanding of how you will manage your animals as part of your personal emergency survival plan may significantly improve outcomes for your animal(s) and yourself.
Some key considerations when emergency planning for your animals:

Over 90% of WA is bushfire prone. By putting a bit of thought and planning ahead of the season you can prepare your family for an emergency.
Firebreaks are a legal requirement under the Bush Fires Act 1954. Firebreaks are intended to minimise the spread or extension of bushfire and provides safe access for emergency vehicles to your property.
Storms are the most common natural hazard in Australia. While storms can happen at any time of the year, in Western Australia (south of Geraldton) they occur more frequently between May and October.
