Storm prep ready By Tanya Steele A township group has jumped at the opportunity to create a series of community education films for their community in the hills and beyond. The Montrose Township group has brought several community groups in the Yarra Ranges area together to create educational support and preparation films to share online to prepare for big weather events. Montrose Township Group Chelsey Cooper member said the group are rapt with how the vid-
eos came out and especially pleased to hear how well they are being received both in our community and beyond. “We have an active social media presence and will be sharing videos at relevant times of the year, when big weather events are imminent,” she said. The series of short films will help residents prepare for weather-related emergencies and power outages and they are engaging, with a little comedy sprinkled here and there. Locals will recognise people from CFA, SES, local primary
school and more (even the local Montrose butcher appears). The four short films focused on storms, heat waves, generator maintenance and the towns action plan MAMAM, which stands for Meet at Montrose at Midday. Ms Cooper said the group on weather events because storms and heat waves are becoming more common. “It brings with it the risk of prolonged power outages, which can have a significant impact on
us, and especially those who live with vulnerabilities,” she said. Filming was a lot of fun, and Ms Cooper said a lot of the preparation was nailing down the key messages for each film, recruiting the talent and scoping film locations. “We deliberately chose a mix of community group and local business representation, working to ensure we captured a cross-section of our wonderful community,” she said.
