Don’t miss out on important DRA emails

Disaster Relief Australia | November 2020

We need your assistance! Many of the ‘bulk emails’ sent by DRA such as newsletters and deployment opportunities, can often be blocked or filtered into the spam folder of your personal email providers (especially now that email filters are focusing more strongly on “grey mail” or commercial mail).

As a result of these changes you may be finding you are seemingly not receiving updates or are unable to read certain email communications, even if you have subscribed to receive them.

To avoid these situations, please add our email addresses to your ‘Safe Senders List’.

We’ve put together a list of the most commonly used email programs with easy to follow instructions on how to add email addresses to your Safe Senders List, this is attached.

Emails to include as safe senders include but are not limited to:

membership@disasterreliefaus.org
mobilisation@disasterreliefaus.org
comms@disasterreliefaus.org

Thank you for your assistance, yours in service.
