Elly Bird will speak on Resilient Lismore https://www.facebook.com/resilientlis... — a collaborative community effort to provide information and connect people willing to volunteer their time or services to help Lismore residents affected by flood.

Set up in response to floods in 2017, the group works with emergency services, government and media to share accurate information and to provide a registration platform for people affected by flooding to ask for assistance and link their requests to volunteers wishing to help those in need.

They also aim to share stories from the flood and flood recovery and promote future flood preparedness. There is opportunity for Armidale community to draw on their blueprint and experience to develop a similar resource for Armidale and related communities.
