Recent extreme weather events across NSW, including drought, bushfire, heatwaves, flooding and thunderstorms have posed practical challenges and considerable stress for many carers and the people they care for. Some carers have had trouble accessing necessary medication for the person they care for, placing their health at risk, while others have faced significant barriers to evacuating their family safely due to mobility limitations and unprepared infrastructure.
With extreme weather events and natural disasters increasing in scale and frequency, it is important for all NSW residents to plan ahead for emergency situations, especially when we have others who depend on our assistance. Below are some things to consider in preparing and responding to a natural disaster.
