About Hawkesbury-Nepean
The Hawkesbury-Nepean FloodSafe Project has several goals:
- Increase public awareness in the region about the risk of flooding and ways to be prepared.
- Encourage people to protect their families, homes, and possessions in times of flood.
- Develop public education resources at the local level (including materials for householders, schools, and the general public).
- Promote the location of evacuation routes and their use in times of flood.
- Encourage evacuees to register at evacuation centres.
- Promote community recovery after floods.
- Disseminate information from local councils about the flood hazard and local resources.
FloodSafe is the result of many government and non-government agencies coming together to meet these goals.
