Emergency dashboard now live

Ballina Shire Council has launched a new emergency dashboard to help provide critical information to our local community during emergency events.

Over the past few years our region has experienced the full force of mother nature. Together we have battled flooding, bushfires, and storm events. The need for accurate and timely information during these emergency events is vital, which is why Ballina Shire Council has developed an online Emergency Dashboard.

The online platform allows users to access important information from several agencies all in one place. It lists key updates such as road closures, ferry updates, river heights, power outages, weather radar, fire locations, beach conditions and airport status information.

The dashboard also provides key emergency contact details all in one place, such as SES, Police, Fire Service, Ambulance, Live Traffic, and local radio station channels.

This platform has been modelled on other local governments emergency dashboards that have been successful in Byron Bay, Tweed Heads and Lismore.
