Organisational resilience, not mere survival in the face of an extreme weather event
Having recently witnessed how unforgiving, destructive and frightening an extreme weather event can be within my own community, I am not surprised that 25% of community organisations think they would close for good after an extreme weather event. It is imperative that your organisation is prepared, so that when you are needed most you can focus on your community rather than on your survival. The ACOSS’ Disaster Resilience Benchmarking Tool will help you identify where your risks are and what you need to focus on to ensure you are not part of that 25%.
