Seniors Safety Squad
9.30am–2.30pm Friday 31 October at the Coordination Centre in Atherton.
Seniors Safety Squad is a multi-agency disaster preparedness education program. It provides a focus on learning about natural hazards and disasters that occur in our region. It helps participants understand how TRC and other agencies respond to disasters.
Participants will gain knowledge on building their capacity to prepare for, respond to and recover from disaster events, as part of a series of interactive and fun activities.

The Living Well Expo is a free family-friendly event that will celebrate community and connection by bringing together support services, activities and experiences to support health and wellbeing in our community.
