Webinar Title: When Emergencies Hit: Are You Ready?
Guest Speakers: Carly McGloin, Emergency Management Planning Officer at Golden Plains Shire Council, Sarah Perry, Emergency Management Officer at City of Bendigo, Leah Thompson, Emergency Management Officer at Moira Shire Council
Time: 12pm - 1pm,
Date: Thursday 26th November 2026.
Walk into any regional local government office and one thing is quickly evident - the staff don't just work for the community, they're also a part of it. So while emergency updates come from all all levels of government, councils are uniquely placed to prioritize which sources matter the most to their local areas.
With El Nińo promising a particularly volatile summer, we're talking to three regional councils to learn how localised emergency management dashboards have improved the experience of both the community and staff in their regions.
In this session, you'll hear:
-
Why local information matters when emergencies strike.
-
How councils can communicate effectively across preparation, response and recovery.
-
What emergency dashboards look like in practice, with real council examples.
-
What's next for emergency management and community communications.
-
We'll also walk you through our existing emergency dashboard solutions and leave plenty of time for questions.
This session is suitable for anyone working in communications, emergency management, asset management, water & sewer, and city services.
There will be time for your questions at the end, so bring the problems your own team is dealing with.
