The Care through Disaster Community of Practice is a space for people to explore the ideas presented within the Care through Disaster project – what does it take to care and be cared for through times of disaster, and how can we put these ideas into practice.
The Care through Disaster Community of Practice aims to bring people together to explore approaches to disaster preparation, mitigation and recovery that centre care, as a component of the public good.
The CoP is based on the lived-experience research and findings of Australia reMADE and WHGNE’s work on what people in regional areas need to thrive in a changing climate.
The CoP is open to anyone – but is particularly aimed at community and organisational leaders. Please save these dates and register for sessions via the links below:

Care through Disaster: a new lens on what’s needed to survive and thrive in tumultuous times
Following community consultation, the first report exploring Care through Disaster focused on sustaining strong communities over the long-term. We argue that while disaster can bring people together, our goal is to prioritise what matters before disaster strikes.
Care through Disaster in Practice – a toolkit for leaders from the citizen to the state
The second iteration of Care through Disaster builds on our original research and sets out the tangible contributions we can make as citizens, community organisations, through all levels of government, to build a new infrastructure of care at a scale required for communities to thrive through increasing systemic disaster risk.
