The Greater Wollombi Valley CRN is a community group focused on pre

paredness and information for residents of the Greater Wollombi Valley, including Cedar Creek to the east, Paynes Crossing to the north and Bucketty in the south. Our CRN links with emergency services agencies and Cessnock City Council to promote joint preparedness, raise awareness of local disaster risks, and combine resources to enhance the resilience of individuals, families, and our community. Our CRTs operate on a voluntary opt-in arrangement and aim to facilitate the best utilisation of everyone's knowledge, resources, and relationships. By joining a CRT, you can choose to be contacted in emergency situations, share and improve preparedness knowledge and experience, obtain assistance to prepare your own emergency plans, improve the communication chain between emergency services and your local community, and much more.
