Emergencies and recovery

About emergencies and recovery

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) responds to a range of emergency events across South Australia. These affect primary producers working in all sectors, including:

  • agriculture
  • livestock
  • horticulture
  • aquaculture
  • fisheries
  • forestry.

We act as both a lead and support agency, depending on the type and severity of emergencies impacting primary production and regions.

Stay updated with all emergency information and plan for incidents in your area by visiting the State Emergency Service and Country Fire Service websites.

Learn more about state disaster recovery activities and arrangements in South Australia through Recovery SA.

We provide financial assistance, resources and information for primary producers and regional communities affected by emergency events.
