The frequency of severe weather events is increasing; storms, heatwaves, fire and flood. Join us at this practical workshop to learn how to develop an emergency action plan for your neighbourhood house.

The workshop will look at emergency management in the context of climate impacts, community resilience mapping and action planning.

The workshop is relevant for neighbourhood house managers, coordinators and committee of management. Other small community organisations are welcome to attend, however, the focus will be on neighbourhood houses.

Participants will be given a resource kit including policy and planning templates and climate anxiety resources.

Presenters include:

Uncle James Williams, Emergency Management Coordinator, Darebin Council

Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins, Climate Justice Coordinator Darebin Neighbourhood House Network

Vicky Ellmore, Community Organiser, Act on Climate collective, Friends of the Earth

Suneeta Sharma, Whittlesea Climate Resilience Project Worker
