Does your family have an emergency plan?
Do you know what you'd need to take with you if you had to leave your home suddenly?
Are you feeling prepared to face potential extreme weather events this summer?

Let's get prepared together!

Join us to meet with local staff and volunteers from The Australian Red Cross.
At this family-friendly event you'll have an opportunity to experience an EmergencyRedi workshop and receive resources to make your own emergency plan and create connections with other community members.

Children (7-12) will also be catered for with a Pillowcase workshop - we recommed at least one parent attend with your child/ren.
Younger children are welcome and will be given an activity booklet.
Older kids are also welcome to attend the workshops with their family.

Stay on afterwards for a free community dinner and conversations

Why is being prepared important?
Australia is facing a new era of climate-driven disaster risk. Bushfires, floods, heatwaves, and storms are becoming more frequent and more severe with the continued burning of coal, oil and gas. For families, especially for children, these events can be traumatic, dangerous, and deeply disorienting.

We can reduce the impact of emergencies, both big and small on our families, by being prepared. The price tag reduces too: for every dollar invested in community resilience, Australia saves ten in disaster response and recovery.
