Flood education sessions (May-June 2024)

Melbourne Water, VICSES and councils delivered a community flood education program for the Greater Melbourne area across May and June 2024. The education program aimed to improve community awareness of flood risk and improve knowledge of how to be prepared for floods.

The first areas the program was delivered was to are communities impacted by the 2022 Maribyrnong flood in the Brimbank, City of Melbourne, Maribyrnong and Moonee Valley City Council areas.
