A bushfire-affected rural community is strengthening local emergency preparedness through community-led training and resilien
2026 Victoria Bushfires
Following a devastating bushfire, this rural community is committed to being better prepared for future emergencies.
Local residents are developing a community emergency response exercise to help volunteers understand evacuation procedures, communication, traffic management, and neighborhood support during bushfires and other emergencies.
Many participants are not members of emergency services but play an important role in assisting vulnerable neighbors and supporting the community during disasters.
The exercise will provide practical, hands-on training that builds confidence, strengthens community connections, and improves local preparedness. By investing in community resilience now, volunteers will be better equipped to respond safely and effectively when future emergencies occur.
Support for this initiative helps create a stronger, more resilient rural community where local people are ready to work together when it matters most.
