Emergencies and Disasters. The Mareeba Shire region is vulnerable to natural and non-natural hazards which have the potential to create disaster events. To ensure an effective and efficient response to and recovery from a disaster event, it is important to have effective and coordinated disaster management arrangements in place. For more information and links, visit the Mareeba Shire Council Emergencies and Disasters.
