As part of the Community Recovery study, we asked people who had been affected by the 19-20 bushfires in VIC how they thought recovery was going.
989 people participated in the study.
Today we're releasing the preliminary findings mspgh.unimelb.edu.au/__data/…
A great opportunity for young people to share their views on disaster risk and climate change!
The Our World Our Say survey is now open!
We encourage all young people aged between 10 and 24 years to take part in this survey designed to identify your priorities for action by decision makers.

The model (singular event focus) we have been working under is no longer fit for purpose with cascading disasters, we need to change and we, the community, need to lead the change Lisa Gibbs @DisastersBeyond @AIDR_News @RecoveryAust #NRF22

What are the benefits of happy healthy communities is the key question as a driver for support, and then we need to find the connections to DRR within this. EM is one piece as of complex community @Bradykate1 #AFAC22 #ADRC22
Very proud of our own Dr Kate Brady on the panel on the big stage to close out a wonderfully thought provoking and energising @AIDR_News #AFAC22 conference. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 – at Adelaide, South Australia
Fantastic insights from this panel about the realities and complexities of recovery. @RedCrossAU @ShonaWhitton #AFAC22 #adrc22 – at Adelaide, South Australia
Share the positive stories, be loud and proud - positivity is contagious and helps us move forward. #climatechange @NinaKeath at #AFAC22 #adrc22 – at Adelaide, South Australia
You can’t just solve the #climatechange problem by raising peoples awareness of the facts and data. Need to understand values of people, acquire new skills, technologies, systems and behaviours and change overarching structural norms. @NinaKeath at #AFAC22 – at Adelaide, South Australia
Data on risk is just part of the equation. Perception on risk is also important re getting traction on change. @NinaKeath at #AFAC22 #adrc22 – at Adelaide, South Australia
So lovely to hear that @NinaKeath has hope for the future with regard to climate action. Yes to taking a more positive narrative. #AFAC22 #ADRC22 – at Adelaide, South Australia
