One State, Many Realities
This year’s theme 'One State, Many Realities' acknowledges that from bushfires and floods to heatwaves and cyclones, Western Australia’s hazard landscape is diverse and no two emergencies or recoveries are the same.
WALGA's 2026 Emergency Management Forum will explore WA’s evolving emergency management landscape, highlighting the critical role of Local Government, how diverse local contexts shape emergency management outcomes, and how community connection, engagement and volunteering can build stronger, more resilient places.
