Australia: Flood disaster rehearsal in Melbourne for community resiliency

Arts House at North Melbourne town hall is a designated relief centre which, for 24 hours, is being used for a flooding emergency rehearsal. Six artists have been invited to work with emergency management staff to help provide additional activities in the relief centre.

Angharad Wynne-Jones, the artistic director of Arts House, said to build more resilient communities, more work was needed in order to better deliver services required in a relief centre.
