    I have heard fantastic things about the work of https://www.hatzolah.org.au/ in the Southern States, providing culturally safe care for the Jewish Community in Melbourne. It is fantastic to learn about the Indigenous Rapid Response Reams formed by NSW SES or Fire/Flood (please someone fill me in) in recent disaster events to respond to indigenous communities. Overseas, there is a growing trend in “citizen” mobile phone applications that utilise GIS systems to notify localized “citizen” first responders, particularly in geographically isolated areas or lack of government supply/availability. Such networks have proven vital in past situations of critical infrastructure failure.

    • Hi Wade – Welcome to the DisasterWISE Community :) Thanks for sharing info about the rapid response teams – I haven’t heard about it, but would love to learn more also. The ‘citizen’ mobile phone apps would be useful for remote communities – at the moment our community has a what’s app chat for emergencies only – a bit of an extension from the ‘phone tree’ set up we had pre-black saturday fires..
