Emergency management
Read the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) and how to make an effective Triple Zero (000) emergency call.
The City of Boroondara is committed to working in partnership with the community, emergency services and other relevant agencies and organisation to prevent and minimise the occurrence of emergencies and their impacts on the community.
Making a Triple Zero (000) call
Knowing how to call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency can be the difference between life and death.
The Triple Zero (000) service is the quickest way to get the right emergency service to help you.
It should be used to contact Police, Fire or Ambulance service in life threatening or emergency situations.
Calls to Triple Zero (000) are free and can be made from mobile phones, home or work phones or pay phones.
Find out more from our Emergency information page.
