BEING emergency prepared is important for everyone, but it is not always given the attention it needs. Understanding local risks and improving the community’s ability to recover from disasters like floods, storms and fires doesn’t have to be a stressful exercise.
Greater Shepparton City Council’s Resilience in Recovery team invites you to play TAG, a hands-on board game, designed to help communities be better prepared and more resilient to weather emergencies.
TAG provides a fictional experience of ‘living through’ three natural disasters in their local area. Players create their own place-based storylines that clearly and meaningfully humanise the concept of disaster planning into players’ lives in a meaningful, practical and actionable way.
Become a facilitator and bring the game to your friends, family, and community at the free workshop at the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre on Thursday, November 27, from 12pm to 4pm.
If you don’t want to become a facilitator but want to play TAG, join Resilience in Recovery for a free afternoon game at the Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre on Friday, November 28, from 12pm to 4pm. Tea, coffee and light lunch provided.
For more information or to get involved, contact Council’s Community Recovery Coordinator Vicki Setches on 5832 9700 or email: recovery@shepparton.vic.gov.au.
