Workshop overview
Imagine there is
- a major storm/ flood event hitting your area, or
- the threat of a bushfire impacting the city during a heatwave.
You have an emergency plan, but are you sure your organisation can keep supporting your clients? For example:
- Could you continue to operate during an emergency? Are you in an area prone to flooding or exposed to bushfire? What contingencies are in place?
- Can your staff reach your clients to provide their normal needed support?
- Can you ensure your clients continue to be safe during the emergency?
- What happens when some staff cannot make it to work as they are also affected?
- How can you help your clients/ participants to be as ready as they can be for emergencies?
