In an emergency, it is important to stay informed and follow the instructions of emergency services staff.
You can:
- stay up to date - access information through the Vicemergency website or listen to ABC radio (774)
- follow the advice provided by the State Government Emergency Alert System if you receive a voice message on your landline or a text message on your mobile phone - you should not wait to receive a warning message before your act
- ensure your safety and follow your emergency plan or your personal evacuation plan if it is safe to do so
- consider moving outside the area at risk, if you have to evacuate, to:
- the homes of family and friends
- the Geelong Central Business District or
- other townships
We will nominate an emergency relief centre when we are requested by the Control Agency's Incident Controller.
