Pillowcase & EmergencyRedi Workshops

Thanks to Australian Red Cross the Shire of Murray is excited to be hosting two workshops: Pillowcase Workshop (for year 3 - 6) & EmergencyRedi Workshop (for their parents)

These workshops aim to build resilience and reduce the fear around emergencies for both kids and adults.

Two workshops will run simultaneously, one for kids and one for parents, out of the Pinjarra Lesser Hall and Pinjarra Civic Centre.

Pillowcase Workshop: This international program, run all over the world, encourages children to be active participants in their own emergency preparedness. Learning about the types of emergencies they may encounter and the importance of being prepared.

Children learn to prepare their minds for the thoughts and feelings that may arise from emergencies, before being given their own pillowcase to draw and pack an emergency kit.

EmergencyRedi Workshop: Helps individuals and households prepare for emergencies. It provides adults with an introduction to emergency preparedness, help them to start their own emergency RediPlan, and gives adults the information and tools to continue preparing themselves, and those they care about, for emergencies.
