In 2020 Blue Shield Australia is encouraging our members and friends to acknowledge International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction on the 13th of October as a useful time to get ready for the next Australian natural disaster season.
The theme that BSA has decided to focus on for 2020 is ‘Practical Preparedness’.
Key Points
- Update your Emergency Contacts List and make sure it’s accessible to everyone who needs it
- Review your current disaster preparedness plan or develop a plan that covers a key activity in each of the four basic protection measures: prevention, preparation, response and recovery
- Make contact with your regional GLAM colleagues (galleries, libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, national trust sites…)
- As a GLAM group, connect with your local council and emergency services contacts
