An Albanese Labor Government will improve the Snowy Valley's disaster readiness by investing in a series of emergency fire trails.  

 Labor will contribute $200,000 to fund fire trail maintenance in the Snowy Valley region. This is based on community feedback that more investment is required for the maintenance of the trails.  

 This project is a critical piece of infrastructure to future proof the region against the impacts of devastating natural disasters.  

 The fire trails will be funded through Labor’s Disaster Ready Fund, which will revamp the Morrison Government’s failed Emergency Response Fund and invest up to $200 million per year on disaster prevention and resilience. 
  
Three years after it was announced, the $4.8 billion Emergency Response Fund has not spent a cent on disaster recovery and has not completed a single disaster prevention project. All it has done is earn the Morrison Government over $800 million in interest. 
  
Labor will put these funds to work to keep locals safe, keep properties safe and reduce the cost of repairing damage from natural disasters.  
  
Only an Albanese Labor Government will keep Australians safe and communities strong in the face of natural disasters. 
  
Only Labor will build a better future for disaster prone communities.
