Emergency management
In the event of an emergency, the main role of the City of Stirling is to manage the local community recovery.
Emergency management involves the structures, arrangements, and plans established to pull together the efforts of government, voluntary, and private agencies in a comprehensive and coordinated way to deal with all emergency or disaster needs.
Under the Emergency Management Act 2005, local governments are required to ensure emergency management arrangements are prepared for their district. These local emergency management arrangements (LEMA) must include a recovery plan.
The City of Stirling Local Emergency Management Arrangements (LEMA) have been endorsed by both the Local Emergency Management Committee and the State Emergency Management Committee Secretariat.
Please note, the LEMA appendices undergo regular review and contain both private and confidential information. If you have an inquiry related to these documents, please contact the City’s Emergency Management Coordinator using the email address below or by contacting the City on (08) 9205 8555.

For more information on how to best prepare for disasters such as fires, storms, hazardous material incidents and traffic crashes, please visit the Department of Fire and Emergency Services website. Please note, in a life-threatening emergency phone triple zero (000).
City of Stirling Local Emergency Management Committee
The Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) has been established by the City to ensure that local emergency management arrangements are established, tested, and reviewed with assistance from the relevant public authorities. Members of the LEMC include City of Stirling Councillors and staff, as well as representatives from the Fire and Emergency Services Authority WA, St John Ambulance, WA Police, WA Department of Health, the Stirling State Emergency Service Unit, and the Department for Communities. Please note, the LEMC’s role is not operational or one of response.
