What's the nature of your enquiry?

The NSW Police Force is responsible for Disaster Victim Registration (DVR) in NSW. For most emergencies, this is managed locally by police. If you have been evacuated during a very significant emergency, such as during a bushfire or flood, and are unable to return home for some time, you can register your details on Australian Red Cross’ Register. Find. Reunite. system.

This is a nationally used system for DVR and facilitates evacuees getting in touch with family members, advises emergency services of evacuees’ whereabouts and safety, and ensures there are sufficient welfare provisions for evacuees. Family members can make requests to “Find” evacuees on the site, or by contacting the Public Information and Inquiry Centre (PIIC) on 1800 227 228 when activated during very significant emergencies.
