EmergencyRedi™ Workshop to help Eurobodalla residents prepare for extreme weather
With extreme weather becoming more frequent and severe, Eurobodalla residents can attend a free Australian Red Cross EmergencyRedi™ Workshop offered by NRMA Insurance and Australian Red Cross at Moruya Golf Club, Evans Street Moruya on Friday, 19 July at 10:00AM to learn about how to prepare for an emergency and their local weather risks. Residents can register to attend at nrma.com.au/helpnation.
Research from NRMA Insurance shows a need for greater emergency preparedness as nearly 1 in 3 Australians (32%) do not have a good understanding of extreme weather risks in their local area and nearly half (48%) do not know what steps they need to take to prepare for an extreme weather emergency. Additionally, only 26% of Australians have an emergency plan to help them respond to an extreme weather event.
Workshop participants will learn about their local risks and be equipped with the knowledge and tools to prepare for future emergencies. All attendees will build their own award-winning Australian Red Cross emergency RediPlan which includes key contacts, meeting places, animal plans, key documents, special items, medical information and stress management strategies. All your vital information in one emergency plan.
The workshop expansion forms part of Help Nation, an initiative created by NRMA Insurance to unite people, communities and organisations across Australia to get prepared and know their local risks.
NRMA Insurance Chief Customer and Marketing Officer Michelle Klein said: “Our research shows only half of Australians have taken steps to prepare for extreme weather and many don’t feel prepared to respond should an extreme weather event occur.
“Through these workshops we want to help Eurobodalla residents better understand their local risks and provide the information and tools to get prepared. Taking steps to prepare before an event happens goes a long way in protecting yourself, your loved ones, your community and the things you care about.”
NRMA Insurance and Australian Red Cross are partnering to expand the delivery of Australian Red Cross EmergencyRedi™ Workshops, delivering thousands of free workshops over the next three years. This will help tens of thousands of Australians get prepared for all types of emergencies, including extreme weather events.
