Wurdale & Surrounds Recovery Network

The network is a community initiative aimed at building community strength and involvement needed to recover quickly from major emergency events such as a bushfire.

We operate with a committee only to ensure appropriate structure and dissemination of information to the community aimed at enabling community members to participate and support the community at the time when it is needed.

The Network welcomes volunteers to participate on the Committee, but also to register your interest in volunteering in the event of a emergency event.
