When the Merimbula team of Red Cross emergency support volunteers met on Wednesday, June 1, for their bi-annual meeting it was an opportunity for Megan Chisholm, regional operations manager, to award the National Emergency Medal to those who had been unable to attend the regional forum in April.
The award was presented in recognition of the many hours which members volunteered in evacuation centres, recovery centres and follow up events, relating to the Black Summer bushfires of 1999/2020.
