Resilient Community Organisations is a toolkit developed by and for the community sector to help organisations measure and improve their resilience to disasters and emergencies.
The Toolkit includes:
- A benchmarking system so organisations can assess their current state of preparedness for disasters and emergencies and identify areas of improvement.
- Six Steps to Disaster Resilience, which provide information and resources organisations need to take action.
Disaster resilience is about ‘bouncing back’ from disasters and emergencies. Disaster resilient organisations can continue to provide services to people in the community despite the crisis and protect the wellbeing of staff and volunteers. In these ways, disaster resilient organisations contribute to the overall resilience of people, families and communities.
