"We have had many enquiries from the local community asking how they can get involved and help out when an emergency strikes within their local community.," said Patrick O'Meley, Red Cross's project officer - Recovery said.

This upcoming information session will shine a light on what Red Cross Emergency Services does and how someone can get involved and assist in times of need.

Local Red Cross volunteers assisted in evacuation centres during the 2019 bushfires and the March 2021 floods.

"We will also have some local volunteer team members attending to answer any questions about first hand experiences that they have had," Mr O'Meley said.
