New data released by the Australian Red Cross shows people are concerned about an increase in natural disasters and emergencies but are failing to actively take steps to prepare.
TRANSCRIPT:
Ms Harrison says this increased expectation is directly related to the intensity and frequency of disasters and emergencies. And when disaster does hit, a failure to prepare is shown to have substantial and devastating impacts. "Memories that you get from the day about how stressed you were, are, are sometimes so much easier to process when you have thought through certain actions. And so for people that were unprepared, it was really a sense of powerlessness and chaos."
