Volunteering
Emergency management in Australia is reliant on volunteering , particularly for response activities. In Tasmania people interested in contributing to disaster risk reduction (DRR) can start at Volunteering Tasmania who support emergency services and manage the EV crew for spontaneous volunteers.
Volunteering is not limited to Australia, the Australian Government manages a substantial international volunteering program called AVID, Australian Volunteers for International Development. DRR placements are often sought from across the Asia Pacific. Here are the current opportunities

PRO BONO
Sometimes it might seem too much, to get DRR into your community organisation. In Tasmania you can always start with your local Municipal Emergency Management Committee for advice. This may not always work, so where I can, I'm happy to discuss your challenges, and bounce around some options without any obligations.
