Bringing together community service and emergency management organisations.

All emergencies, from bushfires and storms, to industrial accidents or loss of critical infrastructure, cause disruption. More often than not, it’s the people living with existing challenges who are hardest hit by emergencies and have the longest journey to recovery.

Experience tell us that community service organisations – organisations who support people to lead independent and fulfilling lives – make major contributions to how our communities prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies.

Red Cross is facilitating this important workshop in partnership with the CFS, MFS, SAPOL and SES, and the Berri Barmera Council, with the goals of:

• Improving how organisations prepare for emergencies
• Identifying opportunities to build resilience of clients and customers.
• Strengthening collaboration between community service and emergency management organisations.

We invite you to join us for this informative and interactive workshop with the view of working through locally identified initiatives.

A light lunch will be provided. Please provide any dietary requirements when booking.

Registration and morning tea at 9:15am with a 9:30am start.

By Destination Riverland in partnership with Regional Development Australia Murraylands and Riverland. 

What is Agritourism? Agritourism is inviting visitors into rural communities to experience landscapes, culture, produce and environment. This includes farm stays, rural escapes, farmers markets, wineries and food trails

Who should attend? Farmers and growers of all kinds, food and beverage producers or anyone with an existing Agritourism product who would like an opportunity to review, extend or grow their product.

What does it involve? The morning will commence with some general introductions to tourism in the Riverland and Agritourism as a concept. Attendees will then be inspired by industry case studies from South Australian businesses currently working in the agritourism space. Our expert in residence will then discuss how to create a tourism product from an Agriculture experience and finally there will be the opportunity to quiz all the speakers during an open panel discussion. Stay around to network and share ideas over lunch.
