Preventing Emergencies
Preventing emergencies is referred to as ‘prevention’. Prevention is measures to eliminate or reduce the incidence or severity of emergencies. These measures can be physical or legal measures, such as clearing leaf litter from a household or Total Fire Ban days.
Emergency Management Australia (EMA) has partnered with the Australian States and Territories to prevent or mitigate against specific types of emergency. To find out more about these programs, visit our Capability Development page.
