THE Salvation Army Emergency Services is urging Australians to prepare for a higher risk of natural disasters this summer, with the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting increased bushfire, heat and flood threats from October to April. The Salvos, which have supported disaster-hit communities for over 130 years, are encouraging households to create emergency “go bags” and stock essential supplies. In the past three years, SAES volunteers have served 380,000 meals and helped 75,000 people. Practical preparedness resources are available on their website.
