Local Emergency Management
Your first step in an emergency is to DIAL 000 and ask for Police, Fire or Ambulance
A handy Guide to Emergency Services in the Local Area provides detailed information on all emergency services in the local area. It has been prepared by the Manly, Warringah Pittwater Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) and covers the Pittwater Warringah and Manly Council areas. The Guide is available at Council customer service centres, libraries and community centres.
Your local Council provides leadership and administrative support for the Manly Warringah and Pittwater Local Emergency Management Committee. Each Council appoints a Local Emergency Management Officer (LEMO) to the Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC), with representatives of utility services and emergency services also attending the committee meetings. Customers can contact their local Council to speak to their Local Emergency Management Officer (LEMO) for additional information about the committee.
The Committee holds four meetings a year commencing on the first Thursday in March, June, September and December held at the Emergency Services Centre, Kamber Road, Ingleside.
In the event of an emergency involving all Council areas, LEMC coordinates a multi agency response with the result of:
- Reducing the impact of major emergencies
- Providing an effective and coordinated response to major emergencies
- Assisting the community to recover from a major emergency
