Emergency Management

The City of Launceston is dedicated to ensuring its residents are well prepared in times of emergency and natural disasters.

If you or your family live in vulnerable areas, such as low-lying suburbs or bush land, we encourage you to prepare for the possibility of such events. It is a good idea for all residents to understand what precautions to take and what resources are available.

Meeting the challenge of COVID-19

Following the announcement by the Federal Government of expanded social distancing measures, the City of Launceston has transitioned to internet and telephone based customer service solutions.
