Readiness Rally
In recent years, fires, floods, drought and the ongoing pandemic have brought unforeseeable challenges to the community of Lithgow. Now is the time to come together as a community and prepare for the future, together.
Emergency disaster management is more effective when everyone in the community works and plans together. Our community will face disasters again in the future, in one form or another, and the best way to recover is to be prepared. Research shows that the more prepared a community is for disasters, the more resilient they become, the better their recovery will be.
Watch the online Lithgow’s Readiness Rally sessions and take important steps to ensure you know the risks, plan ahead for prevention, know how to respond during a disaster and are more resilient when on the road to recovery.
