New dam emergency plan summary information sheet: what you need to know

In an emergency, the NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) needs to find information about a dam quickly, including key contact details. Searching through an emergency plan wastes precious time.

The NSW SES, therefore, has developed a summary information sheet to provide the information in a consistent format, at the front of your dam emergency plan.

Update your dam emergency plan with the new summary information sheet

Declared dam owners must use this summary information sheet template and place it at the front of their dam's emergency plan.

Dams Safety NSW expects declared dam owners to add the new summary information sheet to the front of their emergency plans when the plan is next due for its annual review.

Where do you send your updated dam emergency plan?

Email your updated dam emergency plan to Dams Safety NSW at info@damsafety.nsw.gov.au AND to the NSW SES at nswses.communityplanning@ses.nsw.gov.au
