Wyndham council is inviting residents to attend the launch of the ‘Are You Ready?’ a series of translated, educational videos that will teach viewers how to prepare for and act in emergencies.
Held as part of Community Safety Month, the launch will give families the opportunity to view the videos, speak to emergency services representatives, and check out emergency response vehicles.
The short videos, available in English and translated into nine languages, explain what residents can expect and the information they may need to provide when they contact emergency services.
Residents will also be taught how to complete an ‘Are You Ready? Plan’ which encourages people to consider how they may need to evacuate their homes if there is a fire or other emergency.
They will also learn which important items they may need packed and ready to take in case of an emergency.
Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said the series of videos were an important resource for Wyndham’s culturally and linguistically diverse community.
“This series of 15 videos are a valuable resource that explains how our emergency services can help those experiencing a crisis and how residents can prepare, to enable them to be calm when in an emergency,” she said.
This event and project are delivered with funding from the Australian Government.
The session will be held at the Wyndham Civic Centre in Werribee on Wednesday, October 1 and run between 10am–12pm.
