NADC’s Position
Needed to stop the groundswellLittle money to be saved by cancelingSuggesting to event organisers:• to collect donations• to appropriately reflect disasters in events
Needed to be compassionate and understanding
Really little chance of communicating this to all 780 local committees

Remaining Challenges
Couldn’t move without QLD position clear Needed agreement in position with states/territories Needed to address WA, NSW and VIC disasters too Needed confirmation of collectors at major events Legalities around collecting funds Working with partners ABC TV and Radio,
Commonwealth Bank and Woolworths Needed a central on-line donation portal

LessonsSocial media has different rules• Easy to ‘like’ and move on• Fast turn around• Superficial not investigative• New for stakeholders
Be so well prepared that you have time/resources to respond
Need to have excellent communication in place in advance
