On 13 October 2015 at Parliament House in Sydney, the Minister for Emergency Services David Elliott today paid tribute to all NSW winners of the Resilient Australia Awards and NSW ‘Get Ready’ Community during a ceremony at NSW Parliament House. The Uranquinty Community Safety Group won the inaugural ‘Get Ready’ Community Award for their work developing and implementing a whole-of-town emergency plan.
“These awards showcase the achievements of community groups, emergency services, state and local government, and education providers in making NSW communities safer, more resilient and better equipped when faced with emergencies,” Mr Elliott said. “All of the groups that nominated make a huge difference to the disaster preparedness and resilience of NSW communities, ensuring they are prepared for any event.
The ‘Get Ready’ Award, introduced this year by the NSW Government, recognises a local community that has done exceptional work to make their community more prepared and better able to recover from natural disasters.
