Council works in collaboration with emergency services and other government organisations to ensure the safety of the community. The Council and agencies refer to the Local Emergency Management Plan which describes the arrangements to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies.
The NSW government has launched a community automatic external defibrillator (AED) register.
AEDs are used to revive someone from sudden cardiac arrest and can help save lives.
The register will show the locations of AEDs across NSW and in our community. If you manage or have access to an AED, please register it on the map and help save lives.
