As residents of the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, we have witnessed the devastating impact that disasters can have on our community. From the destructive storms that swept through our area to the constant looming threat of bushfires, we understand the importance of being prepared. That’s why we are delighted to announce a Community Dinner at Selby Community House focused on you creating your own Emergency Disaster Management Plan, and an event dedicated to fostering a sense of unity and resilience among neighbours.
On the evening of June 21st, from 6pm to 8pm, our community will gather at Selby Community House to share good food and drinks as well as knowledge, experiences, and practical strategies to ensure the safety and well-being of ourselves and our loved ones. Together, we will encourage and empower every resident to develop their own disaster preparedness plan, tailored to the unique challenges we face in the Selby area and surrounds.
The recent storms that struck our community serve as a poignant reminder of nature’s unpredictable power. While we cannot control the weather, we can control how prepared we are to face its wrath. By attending our Selby House Community Dinner, you will have the opportunity to learn from experts including the local CFA, gain insights from firsthand accounts, and access valuable resources to create your personalised plan.
Our region is no stranger to bushfires, and the threat they pose is ever-present. Through informative presentations, we will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to mitigate risks, develop evacuation strategies, and safeguard your property against potential disasters.
Selby House invites all to this FREE Community Dinner which is not just about imparting knowledge; it is about building a resilient community. Together, we will foster a culture of preparedness and support, forging connections that will strengthen us in times of crisis. By working together, we can ensure that every person that attends feels confident and ready to face any disaster that may come their way.
Remember, disaster preparedness starts with you. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Let’s make Selby and the Dandenong ranges in general a shining example of a community that is ready to weather any storm.
Mark your calendars for June 21st and go online to register at our website www.selbyhouse.org.au and join us to create your emergency management plan for disasters.
