Storms, bushfires, power outages…this summer we have experienced several extreme situations to test our resilience. Getting prepared for emergencies can make living through them more bearable when disaster hits. Learn how to prepare yourself for the worst at an interactive community information seminar at 6.30pm on 24 February at Willoughby City Council Chambers, 31 Victor Street Chatswood.
Chaired by Mayor Gail Giles-Gidney, the information seminars are a successful new way Council is engaging with the community. They are a forum for people to hear about significant issues and projects and to ask questions.
The February seminar will feature presentations from Angela Casey, Culture and Leisure Manager and David Roberts, Environment Manager, Willoughby City Council who will provide practical advice on how to get prepared.
