Event description

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.
