Canberra launches CHAT. PLAN. ACT. household preparedness campaign
The ACT Emergency Services Agency launched a new community preparedness campaign as the 2026–27 bushfire season began. CHAT. PLAN. ACT. encourages residents to discuss risks, make a household plan and decide how they would respond.
The campaign starts with conversations rather than a shopping list. The government links household plans and neighbours looking out for one another to readiness before emergency services arrive.
What changed
A distinct territory-level campaign launch, not merely an emergency alert. The release introduces no new number of days of household supplies.
Who this is for
Australian Capital Territory; households and neighbourhoods.
Dates & context
Its seasonal context matters: this is a local bushfire and broader emergency-preparedness initiative, not a nationwide stockpiling announcement.
