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.

That's why we're proudly launching Ready. Set. Prepared, a month of action to connect parents, locally and nationally, with trusted information and support so families can build an emergency plan together, before they need one.
