Rockingham Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service

26/03/2026

With the forecasted week ahead now is the time to ensure you, your family, neighbours and pets are prepared

✅ Review your emergency plan

✅ Pack an emergency kit including a portable battery-operated radio, torch, spare batteries, mobile phone and charger, first aid kit, prescription medication, and enough food and water for 5–7 days for the whole family - pets included.

✅ Tidy up around your property - secure loose items like outdoor furniture, trampolines and clear any dead branches.

✅ Clear your gutters, if safe to do so.

✅ Never go out on the water when a cyclone is forecast as conditions can change rapidly.

✅ Download the Emergency WA app and set up your custom watch zones to get instant alerts for your specific area.

✅ Know the warning levels and stay informed by keeping a close eye on the emergencyWA website or app as conditions can change.

✅ For the latest information visit the Emergency WA website or download the Emergency WA app 📲

✅ Create an emergency plan via the EWA website and app

✅ Information on how to prepare can be found on the DFES website.
