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. Mareeba Shire Council has officially released a community awareness guide, aimed at keeping locals and tourists safe when exploring the Shire – you can download this guide here or pick up a copy from the Kuranda Visitor Information Centre.
