Emergency management

Council has a role to play before, during and after emergencies. We work closely with emergency service and recovery agencies to keep our community safe and supported during an emergency event.

Who to contact in an emergency

  • Ambulance, Police, Fire - call triple zero 000 (TTY 106)
  • Flood and Storm - call SES 132 600
  • Lifeline - call 131 114
  • Poisons Information Line - call 131 126


The Declared Fire Danger Period for Horsham Rural City Council commenced at 0100 hours on Monday 28 October 2024 and will cease at 0100 hours on Tuesday 22 April 2025.
