'Our Kids ... are MISSING!' | |||
| Back | ||||
The simple stuff |
Be aware where your family is Keep an up-to-date list of phone numbers, email detail & addresses Tell people where you expect to be, and by what times (Travelling, boating, living alone, working at remote locations etc) Put the list on a notice board & include 'who knows what'. Work out BEFORE what are 'acceptable margins' before acting Work out BEFORE who will take control, and what the 'increasing actions' will be. |
||
Why? |
Because we care for people special in our lives Do you want to be found dead some time later because no one cared? Because you want to minimalise any pain Duty of care responsibilities It's the right thing to do ..... |
||
Where/when to start?
|
The obvious first step is the Police , call 000. There is Australia's coordinated Missing Persons service. Some 30,000 people disappear each year in Australia. You do NOT have to wait 24 hours to report a missing person. Red Cross and the Salvation Army can assist is some situations. |
||
Register BEFORE travelling |
|||
Smarttraveller.gov.au |
This is a Federal Govt initiative with travel information and it offers a registration service: Travel Advisories Travel Bulletins Registration for Australians - overseas This is where you start Getting help overseas Australian embassies - overseas |
||
| This is an 'all government' program with better ways to move about as commuters. It is not a 'lost kids' program but it does have some good pointers. |
