Community Members & Carers

This session is intended for anyone in the community who feels they are not well prepared for the coming heatwave and fire season, including retirees, parents and families, people with disabilities, people who are new to Australia or anyone who has poor health. We will let you know the seasonal outlook, go through a heatwave and bushfire scenario to get everyone thinking about what to consider in making plans, and share some information and resources to help you get prepared.
