Disaster - Pack a Go Bag in Melbourne
Melbourne City Council in conjunction with the State Government and Emergency Services will launch a new strategy to deal with a major disaster or terrorist attack.
Reminiscent of the duck and cover ads of the 1950's, the Council's cleverly designed campaign named "Go Bag", urges residents and workers to pack a bag with a torch, a bottle of water, a radio and identification.
In the event of a major nuclear attack, inner city occupants will be told to douse themselves in water to protect the skin from radiation, shine the torch into the sky to deflect the explosion and tune their radio to 3AW to listen to Neil Mitchell's ongoing rant. It has been suggested that Neil Mitchell would be one of the few people to survive a full scale nuclear attack.
Emergency evacuation points will be the MCG, Etihad Stadium, Melbourne Exhibition Centre and the Melbourne Museum. However, the AFL are disputing that Etihad could be used as an evacuation point and have said that they already have a contractual arrangement to play games at the stadium during a major attack on Melbourne.
It is yet to be announced what colour the Go Bag should be.
