Australian Red Cross EmergencyRedi Workshop

Get Emergency Ready: Free Workshop

In recent years, communities across NSW have experienced the devastating impacts of extreme weather—floods, bushfires, storms, and heatwaves have become more frequent and unpredictable. These events can strike with little warning, leaving people vulnerable and unprepared. But there is something you can do to stay safe and confident in the face of uncertainty.


Join us on Thursday 3 April 2025 for a free EmergencyRedi Workshop, presented by the Australian Red Cross as part of Help Nation, an NRMA Insurance initiative, and learn how to prepare yourself, your family, and your home for emergencies.


This interactive session is designed to equip you with practical tools and knowledge so you can:

  • Understand the risks of extreme weather in your area
  • Create an emergency plan tailored to your household
  • Know what to pack in an emergency kit
  • Build emotional resilience and stay calm in a crisis
  • Access reliable information and support when it matters most


Whether you’ve experienced a natural disaster first-hand or simply want to feel more prepared, this workshop is for everyone—because resilience starts with readiness.


Let’s face it—no one wants to think about disasters. But having a plan can make all the difference. This workshop is your opportunity to take action in a supportive, informative setting alongside others who care about protecting what matters most.


Location: The Place Charlestown Community Centre

Time: 10:00 am to 11:30am
