SES has developed Local Flood Guides to explain local flood risks for communities at risk. This includes advice for communities on how to prepare and respond to flood events and who to contact in the event of a flood.
SES has also developed Municipal Flood Emergency Plans to prepare, respond to and recover from flood events within Municipality.
Flood history
Corangamite Council has a history of flooding including a significant flood event in January 2011 which impacted the township of Skipton and vast extents of rural areas resulting in extensive damage.
The key waterways which impact the Corangamite Shire Council are the Mt Emu creek and the Curdies River. The lead time to respond to a flood event may be limited. All households and businesses at risk of flooding should develop an emergency plan and beware of their flood risk.
Households and business should refer to their Local Flood Guide or Corangamite Flood Emergency Plan for more information.
