Do you have the ability to sustain yourself and your family for at least 72 hours (3 days), should an emergency event arise?

The decisions you make now will determine how well you will be able to live during and potentially after an emergency in your area.

Consider a major fire sweeping through your community, a flood event restricting access to community centres or an extended power outage that lasts days! Are you, your family, friends, and community prepared for life during and post-disaster?

Imagine not being able to access money via ATMs or banks, gas supplies cut off, fuel stations closed for extended periods, no access to electricity, or even running water?

Preparing yourself to be resilient for 72 hours may be the difference in how well you survive the next emergency event.

Being Wimmera 72 prepared is as simple as having an emergency kit that will allow you and your family to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours during an emergency.

Don’t forget to complete and exercise your Redi Plan, and place a copy in your Wimmera 72 kit.
