ARE you prepared for floods?
Local property owners are invited to a ‘How to Make your Property Flood Ready’ workshop on Saturday May 25 at Mooloolah River Landcare, 2671 Steve Irwin Way.
Residents of the Sunshine Coast are invited to a free one day workshop to learn how to make your property flood ready.
During this interactive day participants will learn various flood mitigation techniques and community resilience tips.
MRL projects officer, Jessica Raintree, said the free event was a great way to pick up invaluable skills and prepare for flood disaster at a grassroots community level. “Residents can learn land management techniques to reduce flood impacts, and ways to bring your community together for a stronger recovery,” she said. The workshop will also look at ways to care for wildlife following a natural disaster, and provide an opportunity to visit a neighbourhood where residents are working together to boost environmental resilience.
All attendees will receive a disaster preparedness kit, an erosion control plant pack and food all day.
Although the day is free to attend, bookings are essential for catering: https://events.humanitix.com/how-to-make-your-property-flood-ready
