Upper Murray Community Recovery Weekly Recovery Update - 26 November 2020

Fire Training for Non-Firefighters Fire training for non-firefighters starts this week in Nariel (Saturday), and Walwa (Sunday), and Corryong and Cudgewa (Sunday December 6). The idea came from a group called Firefoxes, established in Kinglake after the Black Saturday fires in 2009. Training includes: your family emergency kit, preparing your property, the seasonal outlook and understanding fire, communications with UHF radios and phone trees, water sources and mechanical equipment. The 2.5 hours sessions are supported by the CFA and the Red Cross. Register at http://recoveryhub.eventbrite.com or call the Recovery Hub on 1800 518 222.
