If not, this free evening workshop on Tuesday, April 9 from Hunter Local Land Services in partnership with Manning Landcare is sure to be an eye opener.

With natural disasters such as fires and floods all too "normal" these days, now is the time to plan and prepare, not when the next crisis is bearing down on us.

With changing climate conditions it is important to be prepared for fires, floods and other emergencies and now is the time to prepare.

NSW Department of Primary Industries together with Hunter Local Land Services and MidCoast Council invite you to this free event, dinner and included, where they will help you build your property preparation plan.

The evening begins at MidCoast Council Chambers, Biripi Way, Taree at 5.45pm with dinner and and information session, followed by the workshop, which finishes at 9pm.
