We can all play our part in reducing emissions and building climate resilience so we can live and work in a more sustainable way. 

Climate change means we will experience more frequent and more intense weather events.  

We can’t always predict or prevent natural disasters, but we can get ready for them.  

Make a household plan to reduce the risk to people and property, and prepare for any disruptions to services and amenities.
