In this episode, we have Lara Beattie, the NSW and ACT Manager of Preparedness and Resilience for Australian Red Cross, who leads the delivery of disaster resilience programs and develops strategic initiatives to strengthen community preparedness across the region.

Lara talks about the Red Cross's unique position in supporting communities before, during, and after disasters, the importance of preparing not just for survival but for recovery, and their innovative AIM model that helps people prepare their minds for emergencies.

She also discusses how the Red Cross's Ready Plan was developed from lessons learned during the Black Saturday bushfires, the groundbreaking Coffs Coast Multi-Lingual Emergency Warnings Network that translates emergency messages into 22+ languages, and an exciting AI motion capture project creating Auslan resources for the deaf community.

If you want to learn cutting-edge approaches to disaster preparedness that blend community wisdom with technological innovation, then make sure to listen to this episode!
