WHATS NEW

 
About the project

Scientists predict more floods, fires and storms as the planet warms, and Australia’s emergency management system relies on volunteers when extreme weather events hit our neighbourhoods.

Problem is – our 500,000 strong volunteer base is aging just when we need them most.

Our Extreme Weather Heroes changing all that by reaching out to inspire young Australians to volunteer for the emergency services via social networking.

This site is about your weather, your future, and what you can do about it! After all - it's your weather – and your future. So step up - get skilled - and get prepared! FIND OUT MORE
