About this event

  • 2 hours

Join Kempsey Shire Council and NSW State Emergency Service (SES), for a series of essential flood education workshops this May. These workshops aim to raise awareness about local flood risks, flood warning systems, and preparedness strategies in anticipation of potential La Niña weather conditions, which could bring above-average rainfall and increased flood risks.

Featuring Jack Frost, a retired airline captain and seasoned SES Unit Commander, the sessions will highlight the importance of community preparedness. Jack Frost will share his invaluable experiences with community action teams during the 2022 floods in the Northern Rivers, focusing on how these teams are crucial in managing flood responses and recovery efforts.

The workshops will also revisit significant flooding events from March 2021 and July 2022, providing a comprehensive overview of the flood risks faced by the Mid-North Coast. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and enhance your ability to prepare for and respond to flood conditions.

Proudly funded under the joint Australian Government – NSW Government National Partnership on Disaster Risk Reduction Program.
