The Australian Disaster Resilience Index is an industry-first snapshot of the capacities for disaster resilience in Australian communities.
Understanding these capacities, and how they differ from place to place, will help communities, governments and industry work together to cope with and adapt to natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, storms and earthquakes.
Join the Lead Researcher for the Australian Disaster Resilience Index, Dr Melissa Parsons from the University of New England, for this hands-on, experiential workshop that will provide a customised exploration of the research and website tools in your local or agency context.
