Australian Red Cross Emergency Ready Week – 2023
‘Emergency Ready Week’ is an Australian Red Cross initiative that takes place every year to raise
awareness of the need for people living in Australian to be prepared for emergencies.
Emergencies can strike at anytime, anywhere and without warning. You can protect yourself, the people you love and the things you value most by being prepared. redcross.org.au/prepare
The primary purpose of the annual Emergency Ready Week is to encourage people to download the Get Prepared app and create their own personalised digital RediPlan to prepare themselves for emergencies.
Four simple steps can make you better prepared for any emergency:
- GET IN THE KNOW: about your risks, where to get information, and how to manage stress
- GET CONNECTED: by identifying emergency contacts, meeting places, and people who can help
- GET ORGANISED: with important documents, medical information, insurance and pet plans
- GET PACKING: with a list to help you survive and personal items that are important to you
Australian Red Cross implements a range of initiatives around Australia, through many channels, aimed at encouraging individuals and communities to take action, and we welcome all support in helping to raise awareness and encourage people living in Australia to prepare for emergencies.
Australian Red Cross has a range of resources, social posts, posters, flyers and information that can be provided to be shared.
