Are you prepared? Take the survey to let us know
In Manningham, emergency risks can include bushfires, grassfires and structure fires, storms, extreme temperatures, and essential service disruptions such as power outages.
Preparing for emergencies is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you’re living, working, or spending time in a bushfire prone area, there are important ways you can ensure that you, your family, and your home are prepared for emergencies.
We’re keen to learn more about how prepared our community feels and what actions or support could help strengthen preparedness across our community.
Each year, we run a survey to measure community preparedness levels. This helps us identify knowledge gaps and trends, so we can provide targeted resources, training and support where you need it most.
In 2025, we received 200 responses to our survey. Survey outcomes directed our programming, and as a result, we hosted several sessions for local groups and at our libraries. Topics included basic information and warnings, and preparing to leave in an emergency.
In 2026, we’re asking similar questions, to help us track how our community prepares over time. Results of this survey will give us greater insight and help us provide even more targeted programming.
This survey will be open until 14 September 2026.
