Natural disasters
The Mount Glorious Community Hall has been selected as a local evacuation centre by MBRC. This means it has arrangements to provide people with food and shelter if some sort of disaster occurs that requires people to leave their homes. A generator has been installed so that power is available in extended blackouts, and a cold room and fridges can help community members to save their food.
A group of local volunteers has been formed into the Mount Glorious Disaster Management Team, who are ready to set up and run the hall as an evacuation centre. The team are organised by MBRC’s Disaster Resilience and Recovery Coordinator, Vicki Anderson, and sit under a statewide system of disaster organisation.
For more information the local contact person is Bruce Teakle: [email protected] .
