With high-risk months quickly approaching, almost a third of Australians confess they are not prepared at all for a potential disaster, according to a new study.
During EmergencyRedi week from September 15 to 21, Australia Post is delivering four million ‘prepare’ flyers to households in areas at high-risk of being impacted by disaster, aiming to raise awareness and drive action.
• Technology like phone chargers was seen as more critical than food, emphasising the importance of staying connected in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
Aiming to support Australians impacted by disaster, Australia Post is accepting donations to Australian Red Cross at participating Post Offices or online at auspost.com.au/disaster.
Together with Australian Red Cross, Australia Post is encouraging Australians to:• Complete the organisations’ co-developed ‘Disaster Quiz’• Create a household emergency plan• Pack a household emergency kit• Start conversations with family members about the importance of being preparedFurther details on disaster preparation are available on the Australian Red Cross website.
