A FREE community information session on how to prepare for an emergency in areas that can lose connectivity will be held at Heathcote Community House on Monday 9 September.<\/p>\n
The 11am session will be run by nbn Local in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo.<\/p>\n
“Places are filling quickly,” said community house executive officer Vicki Forde.<\/p>\n
“The session will be held at the community house but we would really like lots of people to attend and will move to a larger venue if necessary.<\/p>\n
“Our last session on connectivity and scams awareness was underattended but we received positive feedback from those who did attend.”<\/p>\n
Speakers at the session will provide information on what to expect during an emergency and how residents can prepare themselves and their homes.<\/p>\n
“Flood and storm events over the past two years have reminded us of how unpredictable our weather can be,” said Ms Forde.<\/p>\n
“The session will help people to be prepared to help themselves, their neighbours and vulnerable people who rely on them.<\/p>\n
“Attendees will find out what resources are available to them and what the nbn is doing to support the community during these times.<\/p>\n
“Everyone is invited and welcome to attend.”<\/p>\n
Bookings can be made by calling the community house on 5433 2820 on weekdays from 9am to 3pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
