This research report is the final report of the AHURI Inquiry, housing policy and disasters: better coordinating actors, responses and data. This research Inquiry looked at:
- improving how government groups work together to strengthen housing policy and planning for disasters
- the housing disaster recovery approaches that best help prevent future disaster
- improving how agencies use data in housing supply processes to support disaster-ready housing and communities.
Climate-related disasters are set to increase. Governments at all levels need to better coordinate housing policies and practices to reduce the impact of disasters on households.
