A FIVE-DAY cultural camp starting March 31 will help First Nations participants prepare for floods and extreme weather events.<\/p>\n

The Disaster Ready with Country Culture Camp is run by Plan C and Indigenous-led charity The Returning. It will be held at Midginbil Eco Resort, between Kyogle and Murwillumbah.<\/p>\n

The program is designed to support disaster resilience through cultural connection, two-way learning and shared knowledge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.<\/p>\n

Plan C is a disaster resilience organisation made up of Southern Cross University academics, aid workers, firefighters, climate researchers and community facilitators.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said the camp would offer an intergenerational learning space focused on emotional, social and practical skills for use in emergencies.<\/p>\n

“At Plan C, we believe ‘I can only be safe if my neighbour is safe, and they can only be safe if their neighbour is safe.’<\/p>\n

“This is not just a philosophy, it’s a necessity in a world where floods, fires, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe.<\/p>\n

“Community will save us in times of need, and it will require us to take action and have a plan.”<\/p>\n

The group hopes to build relationships with two-way learning between indigenous and non-indigenous people.<\/p>\n

Participants will learn about emotional, social, and practical skills to manage in critical situations when emergency services may not be available.<\/p>\n

The cost of the camp covers accommodation, local and organic meals and workshops.<\/p>\n
