On Monday this week the Federal Minister for Emergency Management, Senator Murray Watt, visited the Mundaring Emergency Services Centre. There, alongside the Federal Member for Hasluck Tania Lawrence, he met with members of volunteer emergency services from across Mundaring and Swan. The Minister spoke about the need for greater levels of cooperation and coordination between all levels of government with respect to emergency preparation, management, and recovery.

The Shire are coordinating a Bushfire Ready stall at the Rotary Mundaring Sunday Markets on the 10th of September. All brigades in the Shire are being encouraged to participate in this excellent opportunity for community engagement. The stall will be operating between 08:00 and 15:00.

This opportunity aligns with the discussion on recruitment and community engagement at the brigade meeting last month. All brigade members are strongly encouraged to donate half an our of their Sunday to this important initiative. If you are interested please contact Adrian.
