Hawkesbury City Council: Grab-and-Go Bags Ready for Pickup
Be ready on-the-go when disaster strikes with a Go Bag.
Hawkesbury Residents can get a free bag and a waterproof document pouch in select locations throughout the district, as per the Hawkesbury City Council on 29 June 2023.
The bag is part of the Prepared, Informed and Ready campaign that aims to give residents multiple resources in understanding the risk towards various disasters such as flooding, bushfire, storms, and heat waves. It also provides avenues for information dissemination and aid when disaster strikes.
The bag includes a fact sheet with contact numbers of emergency services, a personal directory, and a checklist of what should be inside the Grab-and-Go bag; these include checkboxes for supplies such as water, chargers, batteries, sanitisers, water purification tablets, cash, and a local map.
