Lake Mac Child and Family Interagency- Redi to Adapt Workshop

This Redi to Adapt workshop supports service providers to strengthen their knowledge, resilience and capacity during emergencies.

This session is for early childhood services, schools and child & family service professionals.

Redi to Adapt workshops support service providers to strengthen their knowledge, resilience and capacity to support emergency preparedness, response, and recovery—for both their organisation and the clients they serve. The workshop is delivered through three modules: the impact of disasters, organisational preparedness, and supporting resilient clients.

The diversity of the community services sector means there is no 'one size fits all' approach to emergency planning. Redi to Adapt is a dynamic and flexible approach to emergency preparedness focusing on the role of the service during and after emergencies.

In this workshop, we will focus on strengthening the emergency preparedness of community service providers by working closely with local emergency services agencies. Together, we will bring in local knowledge, risks, and context to ensure the information and planning are directly tailored to the needs of this community service agency and the clients you support.

Participants will learn how to:

· Understand local hazards and risks relevant to your organisation.

· Develop or refine an emergency plan suited to your service and client needs.

· Build confidence to act without waiting for emergency services during a crisis.

· Engage staff, carers, and clients in preparedness activities.

This collaborative, practical session is designed to equip participants with the tools and partnerships needed to help safeguard their people and maintain services during emergencies.
