18.01.2022 Are you an Australian resident living with disability or chronic health conditions, or care for someone who is? The NSW Rural Fire Service is working with the University of Sydney who are carrying out a project supporting people with disability to prepare for, respond to and recover from an emergency event such as bush fires, pandemics and floods. The researchers are keen to know how prepared you are for an emergency, what you can do for yourself and what supports you need in... an emergency. You can take part by completing an online survey: People with disability: https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=ML4LC3KMEF For carers: https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/surveys/?s=N9MCMYJDCX If you prefer to speak to someone, please email your name and contact number to [email protected] This research will support NSW RFS and other emergency agencies to better educate and support communities on how to plan and prepare for, and respond to, emergencies and natural disasters. Please share with anyone you know who might be interested in supporting the research. The survey closes on 31 March 2021.
