Natural disasters and the pandemic have thrown a spotlight on how Victorian authorities engage with multicultural communities in a crisis. With the bushfire season underway, what's being done to prepare for the next emergency?
Mrs Khan also welcomed efforts by emergency authorities, including the Country Fire Authority and Emergency Management Victoria , to provide translated information and warnings.
The CFA has continued to develop translated information, run meetings and trainings for multicultural communities across the state, while Fire Rescue Victoria employs multicultural liaison officers. In January 2020, a fire to the west of Wodonga was out of control and prompted several warnings, including an emergency warning.
More than 45 people attended the CFA community information sessions on bushfire warnings in January 2020.
