Prepare for an emergency

When we think about things like floods, bushfires, and bad weather, it’s important to get ready ahead of time. Understanding the problems that might come up and knowing what to do for each type of disaster is important. It’s not just about having the things you need; it’s also about thinking ahead and getting ready for things that might go wrong. Ensuring you have what you need for however long the disaster lasts is important, and adapting to the unpredictable weather is key.

The goal of BRMC is to provide a website as a central place where you can find all the important information you need to deal with emergencies. The BRMC Emergency website gives you helpful guides, explanations, and resources both in English and translated languages, so you and your community can be better prepared. We want to give you the knowledge to get ready for and decrease the impact of natural disasters and emergencies.
