Hi All,
At the 2024 AGM, we approved the setup of an Emergency Preparedness Initiative on Nmbngee. This included the purchase of various equipment as well as the establishment of a crew of first responders on the community – in total 4 individuals.
What We Need
Matthew has volunteered to head this initiative as the Crew Lead. We require three additional community members to volunteer to join the crew. Ideally, we have members that are from various areas across the community. Please note, if you intend to spend a good deal of time away from Nmbngee over the course of the year, you will not be a good candidate for the crew.
What’s Required
– Crew membership is an annual commitment (to ensure we are leveraging the investment in first aid/CPR training).
– Crew members will receive first aid/CPR training (these courses can be done online or in-person at a time that suites) as well as an introduction to handheld CB Radios.
– Crew members will be issued with a first aid kit, snake bite kit as well as a handheld CB Radio for use in emergencies – these are to be kept in a safe, secure space that is easily accessible.
– Crew members will be identified to the community as someone that can be reached in the event of an emergency.
How to Volunteer
Please reach out to Matthew via email, SMS or phone:

Big thanks to Max and Christine for volunteering. We are still looking for someone from the back half of the community to volunteer.
