Springfield Central residents are being encouraged to join a free Australian Red Cross EmergencyRedi™ Workshop at the Camira Springfield Community Centre to learn how to prepare for emergencies.
Preparing Springfield Central For Emergencies
The Australian Red Cross, in partnership with NRMA Insurance, will deliver an EmergencyRedi™ Workshop at the Camira Springfield Community Centre on Tuesday, 7 October 2025. Running from 9:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., the session is free to attend but limited to 25 participants. It is designed to help households understand their risks and take practical steps to become better prepared for extreme weather and other emergencies.
Four Steps To Get Ready
The workshop will guide attendees through the RediPlan®, a structured approach to household preparedness. Participants will be introduced to four steps: understanding risks in their area, connecting with their community for mutual support, organising a clear emergency plan, and packing items that are essential during and after a crisis. These steps are intended to provide both practical tools and psychological reassurance when facing unexpected events.
Part Of A National Program
EmergencyRedi workshops are part of a broader Australian Red Cross program that supports individuals and households to build resilience. They are tailored to the local context, interactive, and designed to be flexible, with a focus on simple actions that can make a difference when disaster strikes. Using the RediPlan® as a foundation, the workshops enable participants to begin creating their own household plan during the session.
Linked To EmergencyRedi Week 2025
This Springfield workshop follows EmergencyRedi Week 2025, which ran from 15 to 21 September as a national call to action on preparedness. Throughout that week, communities across Australia took part in events and activities encouraging people to make emergency planning part of daily life. The campaign highlighted the increasing frequency of natural hazards and the need for proactive preparation.
Community Support
After the workshop, attendees will be invited to take part in a free food giveaway provided by Westside Community Care. This additional activity is aimed at bringing the community together and supporting participation in the event.
Booking Details
Community members are encouraged to secure a place early as capacity is limited. By joining the workshop, Springfield Central residents will gain knowledge, tools, and confidence to prepare for emergencies and protect the people and things most important to them.
