Teenagers in Emergency
Four Maffra Secondary College students have developed a booklet that offers specific and easy to understand guidelines about how young people can help out in emergency situations. The project was initiated in response to the students' own experiences during the 2006-07 bushfires and floods that badly affected the Gippsland region.
