September is Preparedness Month
Get ready to join our new #30Days30WaysAUS campaign!
We're proud to declare September as Preparedness Month. A time when we harness the power of social media to communicate, educate, and engage. This is an evidence-based and structured approach to emergency risk communication.
Our goal? To inspire and empower individuals and communities to take action towards emergency preparedness and resilience.
Here's the best part: anyone can be part in this campaign!
Emergency preparedness affects us all. Disasters and emergencies can strike without warning, anywhere, and anytime. It could be a disaster like an earthquake, hurricane, fire or flood. Or, a human-made crisis like a chemical spill, or terrorist attack. When disaster strikes, the truth is that emergency responders can be overwhelmed. It might take them a while to reach everyone in need of help. In those critical moments, it's up to individuals and communities to rely on their own resources and capabilities to survive and navigate the situation until assistance arrives.
That's why we're bringing this campaign to life. To equip you with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to tackle unexpected challenges head-on. Together, we'll build a community that's resilient and prepared.
