Caravan Park Information
The Western Australia State Emergency Service (WASES) in partnership with West Australian emergency management organisations, have developed a template to assist Western Australia caravan park owners create an emergency management plan (EMP) for their parks.
1. FloodSafe information for caravan parks
Many Western Australian and Pilbara caravan parks are built on floodplains, therefore owners, residents and occupiers need to be aware of the potential for their caravan park to flood and the evacuation an van re-location arrangements for when it does. For information on how to stay safe during floods take a look at the factsheet.
WASES has developed local flood guides to inform communities that are at high risk of flooding. To check if your community has a guide, go to the local flood information page.
2. Online tool
This tool will guide you step-by-step to produce a plan. Hyperlinks and fact sheets are provided throughout the process to assist you. All your details will be stored in the tool so you can log in and update your plan whenever you need. Once completed, you can download your plan as a pdf document and send it to your local council.
