Emergency management
Emergency management involves the plans, structures and arrangements which are established to bring together the normal endeavours of government, voluntary and private agencies in a comprehensive and coordinated way to deal with the whole spectrum of emergency needs, including prevention, response and recovery.
The City of Wodonga has emergency management responsibilities because they are the closest level of government to their communities and have access to specialised local knowledge about the environmental and demographic features of their districts. People also naturally seek help from their local council and emergency management agencies during emergencies and the recovery process.

| CFA to run community meetings in Wodonga |
| If you live in a high fire risk area, you need to develop a practical bushfire survival plan and be prepared. Each summer CFA takes it to the streets with a community safety education program targeted to residents in high fire risk areas across Victoria.
Interactive community meetings in local halls and street corner meetings are planned across the State with the aim of raising people's awareness of their bushfire risk, and to work with residents to turn awareness into action.
