Get Prepared App: Are you ready for an emergency
Do one simple thing to prepare for an emergency. Download the Get Prepared app, co-created by the Australian Red Cross and NRMA, to keep your emergency plan close to hand.
City of Ryde Council encourages you to prepare and stay safe in a disaster or a time of crisis by downloading and completing an emergency plan on the Get Prepared app.
The app helps you connect with your key support people, accomplish simple tasks to make you and your loved ones safer, and protect the things that matter most to you.
Get Prepared is a free and easy to use, one-stop tool to help you prepare for any type of emergency. You can:
- Establish a quick and easy network of support with your three key contacts
- Review the risks relevant to where you live
- Create checklists of actions to make an emergency plan
- Save the emergency plan as a PDF to be printed and shared with others
City of Ryde Council is supporting our residents to become more resilient to disasters. As a participating Council in the Resilient Sydney program, we are collaborating with the Councils of Sydney to create a metropolis that is connected, inclusive and resilient.
Also, Council is developing its own local Resilience Plan in order to strengthen the community to become more resilient to the challenges that are presented from chronic stresses and major shocks affecting the local government area.
