Current and previous editions of the AWE newsletter on our website – coming soon!

Welcome to the AWE Newsletter – September 2020

Lisa Marie Jackson, AWE Committee Member
These days I ride my bike through the very quiet city of Melbourne and then take the elevator to the State Control Centre, and there is a series of images that cycle through on the screen near the elevator buttons. These images include statements such as “will we still appreciate being outdoors?”, which always makes me ponder what a world post COVID-19 restrictions will look like and how this experience has shaped society.

I find myself watching tv shows finding it strange when people are in cafes, or hugging, or walking on busy sidewalks. When this event first started, I would find it difficult to not shake hands when I met someone new, or realising I was standing too close to another person and taking that social distanced step back. Now new habits have been learnt, we all know what 1.5 metres looks like without having to really take a second thought.

I feel particularly privileged right now to be working in emergency management alongside an extremely hard working and dedicated team to assist with bringing together huge amounts of data and information to help inform decisions and planning for COVID-19 as well as the spring flood and summer fire season. How we respond and recover from natural disasters in this pandemic landscape looks very different to how we have in the past. We are lucky in a way, that the northern hemisphere has had to tackle this challenge already and we can learn and implement their lessons here in Australasia.

I am writing this on “R U OK? Day” and after a fantastic workshop with the AWE Network Committee and Chapter Leads where we brainstormed the future of this fabulous network. I have a great feeling that 2021 is going to be an AWEsome year for this network if the ideas and motivation that grew during the session is anything to go by, so watch this space and keeping reaching out to us if you have ideas and opportunities to share.

To you, the AWE Network reader who has taken 5 minutes from their day to read through this newsletter, I ask you to continue giving yourself space to take a breathe of fresh air and reach out to colleagues, friends and family members who might really need a shoulder today.

New AWE ACT Chapter Lead
We are pleased to advise that Zoë D’Arcy has been appointed to the role of AWE ACT Chapter Lead.

Zoë is currently a full-time student with RMIT, doing a PhD titled ‘Towards fire-adaptive communities in the Australian landscape’. She’s hoping to look at communities taking a more strategic, rather than reactive, approach to fire in the landscape. Exploring community vulnerabilities to emergencies such as natural hazards, and looking how they can be reduced, is a key part of her research.

Zoë decided on an emergency-related career change after her community was impacted by a bushfire in 2017. Before that, she had a long-term career in the public service, with 15 years in senior management roles. Since then, she has done research into community-led recovery; and worked as a planning and research officer for NSW SES and ACT government. Zoë is also a volunteer member of the NSW RFS with the Carwoola brigade.

Congratulations Zoë, we look forward to what we sure will be a valuable contribution to our growing network. If you are in ACT, get in touch with Zoë through [email protected].

Recognising the work of our AWE members in challenging times – Hummingly prize pack winners

To recognise the challenging year that we are all experiencing and the work that is being done by AWE members, Hummingly asked for nominations of AWE members who are particularly deserving of a Hummingly Little Pack of Calm designed to uplift and delight in these tough times. The packs include the Doing Well tool and products from New Zealand businesses to also support them through this tough time.
We received some wonderful nominations for women doing fantastic work in Australia and New Zealand.
The New Zealand and Australian winners of our random draw were:

New Zealand
Micheline Evans: Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) – Alternate Group Welfare Manager
Micheline was nominated by Jennifer Rizzi, WREMO, who says “Throughout the [Covid19] response, Micheline never lost her drive to progress welfare work. She continued after the ECC was closed to ensure that welfare continued to be delivered as required, relationships were maintained, systems were demobilised, and lessons were identified and incorporated into future welfare planning. Micheline went above and beyond to help our communities over the past four months and I am eternally grateful to have had her as part of my team!”

Australia
Dr Margaret Moreton: AWE Mentoring Manager
Margaret was nominated by Hannah Macdougall, SES Victoria, who says “Margaret has done it pretty tough on a few fronts during isolation, yet still continues to give back and create learning opportunities for the network e.g. virtual sessions, drink sessions, hosting events and keeping us connected!”

Congratulations both – and the nominations made heartening reading. So many amazing AWE members all doing such incredibly important work right now. Well done to you all.
Take care, Jolie and Elizabeth

AWE Mentoring Pool Party

In September, Margaret Moreton (AWE Mentoring Coordinator) hosted a pool party for AWE members to meet and get to know each other in an informal environment and have some light-hearted fun.

The original purpose of this party was for Mentors and Mentees to find one another and mingle in a casual setting. We have three confirmed Mentor/Mentee relationships in the AWE Mentoring program. The party assisted interested AWE members to meet and match, and to create more partnerships. A bit like ‘speed dating for mentoring’.

Look out for photos and an update in our next newsletter.

Some wise words from Kayeleen’s session:

There is a need for women to be included as equal decision maker for caring for Country.
Engage with traditional owners of country.
Promote and advocate for employment and volunteerism of Aboriginal people with a particular focus on women.
Look around the decision making table, are aboriginal people present? Are Aboriginal women present? Advocate this and invite people to the table.
Learn about local history history and heritage. Ask the questions.
Support local Aboriginal groups by buying from them, attending their events, volunteering for them or engaging local mobs to do land services.
Advocate for and support women led Indigenous groups – look at women’s perspective and women’s country.

Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: September – November 2020
The 2020/21 fire season will be driven by vastly different climate drivers than the previous two fire seasons. With a La Niña ALERT now active, large areas of eastern and northern Australia are expecting wetter than average conditions through spring. Despite the wetter climate signals, parts of Queensland face above normal fire potential in the south east and central coast, extending to the north.

Confirmed: NSW Inquiry finds climate change fuelled bushfires
The final report of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry has confirmed that climate change was a key factor in summer’s horrific bushfire season, and that we are likely to see worse fire seasons ahead. Greg Mullins, founding member of Emergency Leaders for Climate Action (ELCA) and Climate Councillor, welcomed the report and the inclusion of some of the key recommendations which were made in ELCA’s Bushfire and Climate Plan.

Catch Independent MP Zali Steggall raising the recommendations from ELCA’s Bushfire and Climate Plan in the House of Reps, and urging the Federal Government to heed the warnings in preparing for the climate crisis.
ELCA’s Bushfire and Climate Plan was also tabled in Parliament by Helen Haines MP – read about it here.

Be You Bushfire Response Program
To support the mental health of bushfire-affected learning communities, the Australian Government provided an additional $8 million to Beyond Blue through its existing national mental health in education initiative, Be You, to develop the Bushfire Response Program (BRP).

The BRP has engaged 25 Contact Liaison Officers (CLOs) through Headspace and Early Childhood Australia to work closely with local schools and early childhood services in affected communities across South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. CLOs work with communities to identify their needs and connect them to local mental health and wellbeing services and supports, provide trauma informed information and learning, and support recovery planning.

International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2020
October 13
https://www.undrr.org/news/covid-19-and-climate-emergency-tell-us-all-we-need-know-about-disaster-risk-governance
“This year’s International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction is all about governance. You can measure good disaster risk governance in lives saved, reduced numbers of disaster-affected people and reduced economic losses. COVID-19 and the climate emergency are telling us that we need clear vision, plans and competent, empowered institutions acting on scientific evidence for the public good.

This requires having national and local strategies for disaster risk reduction in place by the end of the year as agreed by UN member States when they adopted the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction in 2015. We need to see strategies which address not just single hazards like floods and storms but those that respond to systemic risk generated by zoonotic diseases, climate shocks and environmental breakdown.
Good national and local strategies for disaster risk reduction must be multi-sectoral linking policies in areas such as land use, building codes, public health, education, agriculture, environmental protection, energy, water resources, poverty reduction and climate change adaptation.”

UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Disaster Risk Reduction, Mami Mizutori
