Watch our heroes in action! The Tweed’s emergency response services will unite at Jack Evans Boat Harbour on Saturday 1 July to demonstrate cutting-edge disaster response equipment and promote emergency preparedness.
This event provides a valuable opportunity to engage with our local heroes, learn about volunteering opportunities and witness demonstrations from first response agencies such as the NSW Police, NSW Ambulance Service, NSW SES, NSW Marine Rescue, Surf Life Saving NSW, Red Cross Australia and more.
The free expo will be held on 1 July from 10 am to 2 pm, at the Goorimahbah Precinct, Jack Evans Boat Harbour, Tweed Heads.
Mayor of Tweed Shire Chris Cherry highlighted the importance of the expo in promoting disaster readiness and enhancing community resilience, especially in light of the 2022 floods.
“This expo reinforces the value of our frontline heroes and the importance of community preparedness,” Cr Cherry said.
“Reflecting on the 2022 floods, it’s vital to be informed, aware and ready in the face of an emergency.
“By meeting our emergency responders, learning about volunteering opportunities and witnessing equipment demonstrations, residents can better understand the importance of preparation and planning to ensure their safety and that of their neighbours.
“Don’t miss out on this opportunity to show support for our frontline heroes and learn how to be better prepared for emergencies.”
Attendees can enjoy a sausage sizzle while getting up close to a wide range of emergency response vehicles and equipment, including flood, surf and other rescue boats, fire trucks, police response vehicles and all-terrain vehicles.
No registration is required for this free, informative and fun-filled day – just come along and meet our first responders!
This event is hosted by Tweed Shire Council in collaboration with NSW Marine Rescue, NSW Police, NSW Ambulance Service, NSW SES, Surf Life Saving NSW and Red Cross Australia.
