Preparing for a power outage or infrastructure failure
Power outages and infrastructure failure can impact on your lifestyle. There are things you can do to minimise the consequences before an outage occurs.
Put together a power outage kit as part of your home emergency kit including such things as:
- a torch or battery operated light
- a phone that does not rely on electricity
- a battery powered radio for news and updates
- fresh water
- the faults and emergency contact number of your company
Know where to get information - familiarise yourself with the VicEmergency website.
- familiarise yourself with Energy Victoria - power outages
- know who your provider is
- download your providers app.
Emergency services contacts
Having the right contact numbers can be very important in an emergency.

You will be required to develop a Noise Management Plan as part of your Event Plan if your event is outdoors and has amplified music, a speaker system providing directions to participants and/or mechanical equipment will be operating.
Inclusive event planning
Planning an event that is inclusive means providing Universal Access
which benefits all patrons.
What to do in an emergency
In an emergency, it is important to stay informed and follow the instructions of emergency services staff.
