Kiama Council is trialling a new online portal to help residents stay safe and receive live updates on fires, floods, road closures, beach conditions and storm warnings.
The Disaster Dashboard combines real-time information from a range of emergency services all in one place.
It makes it easier for residents to prepare for and respond to emergencies.
On the new dashboard, residents can track data on:
- COVID-19 cases, local restrictions and vaccination clinics
- Fires and floods
- Road and bridge conditions
- Water, power, gas and mobile network outages
- Shark sightings and beach conditions
- Air and water quality
- Storms and weather warnings
The dashboard also includes short and sharp guidance on how to prepare for emergencies and where to find support after disaster has struck.
The Disaster Dashboards have been adopted by more than 40 councils in NSW.
They were developed by Resilience NSW to ensure local communities are better equipped to manage critical incidents.
