Together we will develop inclusive strategies, actions and plans that will help us to act before, during and after a disaster to include people with disability and others in our community. Being prepared and having a plan for disasters and emergencies is important for each of us individually, and as a community. We know this is especially important for people with disability and people with additional needs to minimise risks and save lives. To do this we all have a role and a part to play - people with disability, community members, government, council, disability and community organisations and emergency services. This is the first in a series of three forums over two years.This is the Somerset region forum. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/community-forum-inclusive-disaster-resilience-scenic-rim-region-tickets-490200923157" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Register for the Scenic Rim region forum HERE </a>Who should attend?People with disability, family and carers, people who work in disability and community services, emergency, disasters and community recovery, and interested community members.AccessibilityThis is a supported, inclusive, and interactive event.
