In Australia, the risks we face from disasters are becoming increasingly frequent and complex. While the Hepburn community is known for its strength and resilience, there is always more we can do to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. Evidence shows that communities that are well connected and actively engaged in preparedness are more likely to cope effectively and recover more quickly when disaster strikes. This workshop features our Emergency Services Panel, designed to give attendees insight into the emergency management arrangements in Victoria. You’ll hear from representatives of various agencies that hold legislated roles and responsibilities within Victoria’s emergency management framework. Each representative will be asked the same two questions and given up to four minutes to speak: What are the roles and responsibilities of your agency during and immediately after an emergency? What can the community expect from your agency during an emergency? Following the panel discussion, there will be a Q&A session and a free lunch - an opportunity to connect with agency representatives and ask further questions: <ul><li>Country Fire Authority (CFA)</li><li>State Emergency Service (SES)</li><li>Forrest Fire Management</li><li>Victoria Police</li><li>Deptartment of Health</li><li>Ambulance Victoria</li><li>Hepburn Shire Council</li><li>Agriculture Victoria</li><li>Australian Red Cross</li><li>Department of Families, Fairness and Housing</li><li>PowerCor</li><li>NBN</li><li>Telstra</li><li>Emergency Recovery Victoria Questions about this event please call Hepburn Shire Council's Community Recovery Officer, Jai Edwards, on 0456 26 77 27.</li></ul> Parking and Public Transport Information<ul><li>There is a small off-street carpark available at the rear of the Creswick Town Hall (entrance off Water Street)</li><li>All day on-street carparking available in Water Street (side of venue)</li><li>Parking Bays are also available in Albert Street (front of venue), however the bays are time restricted.
