With bushfires raging across Australia, the organization recently highlighted the efforts of ARC
volunteers throughout the country, with emergency teams establishing 69 recovery and evacuation
centers. So far, these centers have helped people fleeing the wildfires in several areas, including
New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria.

The organization notes that those in need are given emergency accommodation, food, and water,
as well as help locating missing loved ones. The ARC is also establishing a cash grant program to
help people with their immediate needs, as well as to support local businesses.
