Q: Has Council considered the possibility of a wholesale evacuation of the whole of Noosa Springs?




7.0    Emergency Services

           The recent bushfire at the southern end of Resort Drive and the golf course was attended by
           Emergency Services vehicles, without using their sirens. As a result, some residents were
           unaware of the emergency on their doorstep until the morning, whilst others were panicked by
           neighbours knocking on doors.

Q: What was the reason for emergency sirens not being used?

Q: How can we ensure that sirens are used within Noosa Springs to alert residents?
