Join your fellow Surfcoast and Greater Geelong residents for an evening lead by Resilient Communities Officer Nick Guyett who will guide participants through the creation of a personal Resilience Profile as well as planning for emergencies. Participants will learn the principles of resilience, why it matters and what it entails. Participants will take a short online self-assessment that looks at household resilience and be given feedback to resources to improve resilience. Participants will undertake group scenario based activities following on to share learnings, identify commonalities, and finally take a look at emergency planning templates.
