“The program supports seniors in preparing for, responding to and recovering from natural and other hazards.
“Some of the hazards include storms, cyclones, floods, electrical safety and bushfires.”
The session will be held on 10 October from 9am to 2pm at the Coordination Centre, 15 Vernon Street, Atherton.
