Prepare for disasters

IN THE wake of recent Australian disasters, including bushfires and the pandemic, the Australian Red Cross has launched a campaign to encourage Australians to prepare for disasters ahead.

The organisation has suggested four steps to get ready: Get in the know to find information on risks and managing stress; get connected to find people who can help; get organised with important documents, medical information, insurance, and pet plans; and get packing with a list to help you survive and important personal items.
