During the February Get-Together, a conversation around disaster commemorations and memorial emerged. It would be helpful if we could continue a dialogue here around what some communities have experienced from lived expeirence, along with local council and emergency services contributions.

There are some great resources out there for people who have experiened a disaster. Even though thinking of your own mental health and self-care gets pushed down the list of things to do, it is absolutely essential to take stock and invest in your mental wellbeing – for your sake and for the sake of others around you.

Hi Wade – Welcome to the DisasterWISE Community :) Thanks for sharing info about the rapid response teams – I haven’t heard about it, but would love to learn more also.
