Capability Forum
During the debrief of a multi-agency exercise conducted by Mat and Sue, it was determined that agencies didn’t fully understand each others capability. In response Mat and Sue organised a Capability Forum, where agencies could demonstrate their equipment and capacity to each other, but the community could participate and learn about each agency.
Twenty one agencies participated on the day with over 2500 community members and 300 community members learnt how to perform CPR.
