State of Alert declared for ACT

In times of crisis, whether we are directly impacted or not, we can feel many emotions — including fear, anxiety and helplessness.

In these times it is important to check in with and look after ourselves and others around us.

The traumatic stress help guide provides some good information to help you understand traumatic stress and take steps to look after yourself.

With our local area on alert, we encourage you to stay connected to our local media, such as ABC Canberra and State Emergency Service to gain the advice you need to remain safe.

If you need to talk, we are here on 13 11 14.

As we move through this time, we are heartened by the community spirit being shown throughout our town.
