How can you prepare for the next disaster?

With disasters becoming more frequent, getting prepared for an emergency has never been more important. 

Research shows that people recover faster if they are prepared for an emergency. To make it as simple as possible, we are urging residents to download the Get Prepared app: a free app co-created by the Australian Red Cross and NRMA. 

As a participating Council in the Resilient Sydney program, we are collaborating with the Councils of Sydney to create a metropolis that is connected, inclusive and resilient to disasters. 

Do one simple thing to prepare for an emergency. Download Get Prepared and keep your emergency plan close to hand. Visit redcross.org.au/prepare
