PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST – BECOME A PILLOWCASE PROJECT PRESENTER
Emergencies can happen at any time. They can be as large as a flood or
fire, or as personal as a death in the family. But the better you
prepare for them, the easier it is for you, your family and your
community to recover.

We are seeing emergencies occur more frequently and with more
severity. The Pillowcase Project is a school based disaster
preparedness program; designed to target students aged 8-10, years 3
to 4, to help build their knowledge and capacity in disaster
preparedness.
An example was just recently at a bushfire in Darlington, children who
previously completed the lesson used their Pillowcases when their
families evacuated. Knowing what was important helped reduce stress
and anxiety for the whole family. You can see the story here.
