Storm and Flood Assistance
Today (31 March 2025) marks the end of the 2024-25 bushfire and storm seasons.
Throughout the seasons, ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) and ACT Parks & Conservation Service (ACTPCS) staff and volunteers responded to 42 grassfires, and 1,030 requests for storm or flood assistance across the territory.
A big thank you to everyone who worked to keep the Canberra community safe throughout this period.
It has also been a particularly busy period for deployments, with more than 250 volunteers and staff travelling interstate to assist with bushfires, floods and missing persons emergencies in Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and New South Wales.
The end of the declared bushfire season means there will no longer be a daily bushfire danger rating, and some burning activities will no longer require a permit.
A big thank you to all the volunteers and staff from the ACT Rural Fire Service, the ACT State Emergency Service, ACT Community Fire Units, ACT Fire & Rescue, the ACT Ambulance Service, and other agencies that work together to keep the Canberra community safe.
Remember - emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime, that’s why it’s important to Be Emergency Ready all year round. Find out more and prepare your Emergency Survival Plan - www.esa.act.gov.au/be-emergency-ready
