also wanted to be able to give them to all our members not just those that have been fortunate enough to have After much searching we finally tracked down a supplier who makes a document wallet with 20 clear plastic sleeves send an email to [email protected] Over time the number of cards has grown and we have plans to develop more in the future. A lot of effort has gone into producing them and them with other Units so that they too can benefit from this work. Be sure to check the Table of Contents to see which cards have been added or updated recently! Feedback We so please send us an email at [email protected] with any corrections, suggestions etc. That way we can keep improving them for the benefit of all SES members. Acknowledgment Much of the material for these cards has been sourced from our Training Resource Kits and the Australian Emergency Management Manual Series from Emergency Management Australia. We acknowledge these publications as the source, particularly for much of the artwork. We also acknowledge the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) as the source for the material in card 4.2 Disclaimer The information contained in these summary cards is not meant to be a substitute for training, and untrained or unqualified members should not use the material in these cards without the supervision of a suitably qualified person. Also, whilst all care has been taken in compiling these cards it is possible that they may contain technical inaccuracies or typographic errors.
