VICSES 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.
City of Greater Bendigo and VICSES are also developing a Municipal Flood Emergency Plan to prepare, respond to and recover from flood events.

Flood history

The lead time to respond to a storm and flash flooding events may be limited. All households and businesses at risk of flooding should develop an emergency plan and beware of their flood risk.
