TWO DAY COMMUNITY FORUM
Dates: Weds 9th and Thurs 10th November 2022
Time: 9.30am – 2.30pm both days
Location: Somerset Civic Centre, 35 Esk-Hampton Road, Esk
Who should come?
People with disability and supports, disability and community services, emergency services, local government & interested community members.
What is it about?
Being prepared and having a plan for disasters and emergencies is important for each of us individually, and as a community. We know this is especially important for people with disability and people with additional needs to minimise risks and save lives.
To do this we all have a role and a part to play – people with disability, community members, Government, Council, disability and community organisations and emergency services.
Come along to this two day community event to work together to build a more inclusive disaster resilient Somerset region. This is the first in a series of three forums over two years. Together we will develop the inclusive strategies, actions and plans that will help us to act before, during and after a disaster to include people with disability and others in our community.
