Ready2Go

Matching volunteers to assist vulnerable people to reduce risk to health from heatwave or other extreme conditions, includes relocation if required.

Based around Heat Wave conditions,
Ready2Go is a unique small-scale resilience program focused on people with a set of distinct vulnerabilities. Ready2Go is designed around supporting people living independently in the hills area who, due to age, frailty, mental health concerns or lack of transport, are unable to protect themselves adequately from the effects of heatwave conditions and other emergencies. The program assists those identified to relocate ‘off the hill’ ahead of any extreme conditions, by planning the day before to relocate to prearranged safer locations away from the area.
