What a fantastic winter’s day at the Loch Food and Wine Festival. 🍷🧀🎶
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, learn more about GERF, share your experiences, or make a donation.

From conversations about community resilience to stickers and lollies for the kids, it was a wonderful day connecting with people from across Gippsland. 💛

Events like these remind us that resilience is built through strong communities and meaningful connections.

Thanks for having us, Loch!

Power outages are a common part of winter weather across Gippsland. 🪫
Now is a good time to prepare before severe weather arrives. ⛈️
A few simple things can help households stay safer and more comfortable during outages

Preparation doesn’t need to happen all at once. Small actions now can make a big difference when severe weather hits. Save this post for later or share it with someone who may need it this winter. 🧡

Don’t lose your hat when the gale rolls in 💨🧢
Winter winds can arrive quickly across Gippsland, bringing fallen branches, power outages, flying trampolines, and property damage with them.

Now’s a good time to secure loose outdoor items, clear gutters, check emergency supplies, and stay up to date with local weather warnings.

A little preparation now can make a big difference later 🤝
Save this post as a reminder for the windy months ahead.
