LOCALS URGED TO PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES

Following a troublesome bush fire season, Liverpool Plains Shire Council is encouraging the community to make sure they prepare during the cooler months.

With drought leaving soil hard and dry, when rain does eventually come, flooding could be on the cards.

To minimise potential harm, particularly on remote properties, they suggest dowloading the Get Prepared mobile app.

Designed by the Red Cross, it gives access to key emergency contacts and information in times of need.
