Who do you rely on?

“After the 2022 flood, I had four friends say to me I should have reached out to them for support after feeling isolated and forgotten by my community housing building management. Next time, I’ll call more people in the community for help. My advice is to ask yourself, ‘who do you rely on?’ and identify your three closest and trusted friends, that are not family, to be emergency contacts.”

Brendon, Kurilpa resident since 2012
