Municipal Flood Emergency Plans
VICSES lead the development of Municipal Flood Emergency Plans (MFEPs) available alongside community facing Local Flood Guides. MFEPs are a sub-plan to the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) and include critical information about the risk and impacts of local flooding. They also assist councils and emergency management agencies in effectively planning for and responding to the impacts of flooding across a municipal footprint before, during and after it occurs.
Use the lookup box in the below section to find your MFEP and local flood guide. You can search by suburb, postcode or council/municipality.
