Strong communities are built before a disaster happens. That's why I'm proud Australia Post has renewed its partnership with Australian Red Cross for another three years, continuing our shared commitment to helping communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.
Across Australia, communities are facing more frequent and severe weather events. Helping people prepare before an emergency occurs can make a meaningful difference.
Recently, I visited a Pillowcase Workshop delivered by Australian Red Cross and saw first-hand how young people are building the skills and confidence to prepare for emergencies. The students were learning practical actions they can take to feel ready and support those around them.
As part of this year's EmergencyRedi campaign, Australia Post is delivering disaster preparedness information to more than four million households in higher-risk areas across Australia. Together with Australian Red Cross, we're encouraging Australians to take simple steps today that could make a difference tomorrow.
