0 comment0karenabout 4 years agoCommunity resilience
The bushfire disaster unfolding in the eastern states has demonstrated that preparedness is a huge factor in resilience at all levels from personal, to volunteer groups, organisations, local government, government agencies etc. Individuals and volunteer groups have a huge role in any emergency situation, from personal action to wildlife rescue, mental health support and practical assistance (food, shelter etc). My aspiration is that our community feels prepared, has access to appropriate advice and information, and knows that serious planning has been undertaken to respond to potential risks from long power outages to transport disruption (remember the problems when fires closed Bussell Highway for a few days- food and petrol deliveries etc). Do we have food, water, back-up power, fuel security to cover several days in an emergency situation? The bushfires have highlighted some really basic needs that hadn't been thought through - eg food supplies (with Supermarkets running out and emergency food drops), advice to parents (Sandy McFarlane gave great advice on ABC news), what to pack for bottle-fed babies, etc. Some of this can be addressed through the Shire's Climate Change Risk Analysis and the Community Adaptation Summit this year. Maybe the Shire could organise a community meeting to understand concerns and info needs ahead of time?

My 16 yo son with special needs is a keen basketball and football player who played mainstream sport in Margaret River for many years. He now commutes to Eaton to participate with "isportswa" which are a group of keen athletes and volunteers assisting youth & adults with disabilities to participate in sport. One of the facilitators, Ron Tresize, is keen to develop a group closer to us in MR, and my husband and are happy to be involved as volunteers to help facilitate this. Im happy to discuss this further with you, and in the meantime, the wa isport web details are here, to perhaps get an idea of how their group is run. My number is 0448481974. www.waisportsinc.com.au Regards, Linda Stanlake
