Emergency Ready Now: Stories of disaster, recovery and wellbeing

Central Coast Council’s new ‘Emergency Ready Now’ podcast explores these questions and looks at how we, as a community, can become more resilient and connected in the wake of disaster.

In recent years, the Central Coast has been exposed to a range of emergencies and disasters, from devastating bushfires, floods and storms to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a community, we’ve displayed great strength in working through these challenges together, but what do we do after they pass and how do we learn and prepare for next time?

The engaging 13-episode series will share people’s stories about disaster recovery, community and mental wellbeing to arm listeners with the tools and knowledge to better cope when faced with adverse challenges such as emergencies and natural disaster.

The Emergency Ready Now podcast is presented by Central Coast Council and is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and NSW State Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding arrangements.
