In response to the unprece­dent­ed chal­lenges caused by the glob­al pan­dem­ic, the com­mu­nal lead­er­ship has acti­vat­ed the NSW Jew­ish Emer­gency Plan – a set of mea­sures designed to pro­tect our com­mu­ni­ty and our way of life. A crit­i­cal part of this is the estab­lish­ment of an Emer­gency Oper­a­tions Cen­tre (EOC) to coor­di­nate the pro­vi­sion of essen­tial ser­vices to com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers.

Mem­bers of the com­mu­ni­ty requir­ing sup­port, includ­ing obtain­ing house­hold items, med­i­cines and access to men­tal health ser­vices, should call 1300 JEMP AU (1300 536 728).

It is essen­tial to make this sup­port avail­able to our needy and vul­ner­a­ble. Kind­ly help share this mes­sage through­out the com­mu­ni­ty, par­tic­u­lar­ly to those liv­ing alone, the elder­ly and any­one requir­ing spe­cial assis­tance.

24/7 JEMP NSW Emer­gency Oper­a­tions Cen­tre: 1300 JEMP AU (1300 536 728).

The NSW Jew­ish Emer­gency Man­age­ment Plan (JEMP) is fund­ed through the Jew­ish Com­mu­nal Appeal (JCA) and is a co-ordi­nat­ed response by the Exec­u­tive Coun­cil of Aus­tralian Jew­ry (ECAJ), the NSW Jew­ish Board of Deputies, the Coun­cil for Jew­ish Com­mu­ni­ty Secu­ri­ty (NSW) and the NSW Com­mu­ni­ty Secu­ri­ty Group (CSG).
