Finding disaster support

The Triple Zero (000) service is the quickest way to get the right emergency service to help you. You can contact Police, Fire or Ambulance in life-threatening or emergency situations.

For storm and flood help, call the State Emergency Service (SES) on 132 500. For fires other than in an emergency, contact your state or territory service.

The Disaster Assist website provides information on support for disaster-impacted areas. To learn about support available, visit the Disaster Assist website.

Building resilience, reducing harm, and recovering from disasters

The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) supports families and communities across Australia. We provide recovery support following events such as floods, bushfires, cyclones, and drought.

We work in partnership with state and local governments. Together, we help communities to be better prepared and supported.

Our Coordination and Planning Officers work across Australia. To find support in your area, visit our Coordination and Planning Officers' page.
