🚨Disaster Management (DM) Workshop update.
✅ CRC DM Workshop attendance disappointing however progress made on developing a plan.
💻 You can still have your say & contribute via the survey ❗️Goldsborough Community Disaster survey QR Code❗️

💡Important immediate tasks:
⁉️Is your property number clearly marked preferably with reflective numbering. 🚑This is to ensure speedy attendance by emergency services. Emergency services stated that we are the 2nd most difficult suburb to deliver services to due to lack of numbers.

🫀Defibrillator 💛 is located at the Goldsborough Road end of Mineshaft Street. GCPA.inc raised 💵 for this first one - will consider raising funds for another 1 or 2.

📲 GCPA.inc is investigating an alternative Emergency Messaging platform to better cater for our growing population. Stay tuned.

📅 A date, time and place for the next follow up workshop is yet to be finalised.

Be proactive - we look forward to you getting involved to contribute to building resilience in our community. 🌳
