π¦οΈ Being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency.
We're pleased to share this important work from Tasmania SES, supporting people with disability to plan ahead for floods, storms, bushfires and other emergencies.
Check out the resources below and start the conversation about emergency preparedness today.
Everyone needs to get ready for emergencies.
People living with disability usually have extra things to think about, so itβs even more important to prepare for floods, storms, bushfires and other emergencies β and weβre here to help.
Through the Person-Centred Emergency Preparedness (P-CEP) Project, we are partnering with other organisations such as:
πΆ Speak Out Association of Tasmania - attending expos and hosting workshops at the state Speak Out conference this October.
πΆ ParaQuad Association of Tasmania Inc.
πΆ Muscular Dystrophy Tasmania
πΆ Mission Australia
πΆ Some local neighbourhood houses
SES is also working with Tasmania Fire Service and National Disability Services to provide scenario workshops for disability service providers so they can get ready to continue to support people during and after bushfires, floods and other emergencies.
