Did you know that every dollar spent on disaster risk reduction and prevention can save up to $11 in recovery costs? 💰

The economic pressures of natural disasters are expected to continue into 2023, but we can work towards reducing the cost of recovery efforts by preparing our communities and landscapes in the off season.

We can all do our bit by rolling up our sleeves and volunteering some time to making Australia more disaster resilient.

It’s no secret that volunteering has declined, at a time when volunteers are needed more than ever.

But what if volunteering can be your contribution to helping communities adapt to a changing climate? Would you reconsider?

In Australia, efforts are often focused on recovery. It’s time we shift our thinking. Building resilience and preparedness is equally important, as natural disasters become more frequent and severe. 

We are determined to shift behaviour and build a culture where resilience is second nature to Australians.  

How are we doing this? Through online resilience training, community-led resilience planning and coordinated volunteer activities.

Habitat destruction, introduced pests and climate change are unfortunately taking a toll on Australian species. 😔

By 2021 there were more than 1,700 species and ecological communities known to be at risk of extinction.

To address the decline of biodiversity, we need to reduce the threats and build resilience in our landscapes.

When you’re buying a house there are many aspects to consider and disaster resilience might not be one of them. 🏠

While your property might not be built to withstand natural hazards, there are steps you can and should take to make sure your home is as resilient as possible.

What can you do:
🛠 If your property was made before 1980, consider a roof upgrade. Why? These buildings were constructed before building codes were introduced.
🛠 Increase floor height to improve protection from floods.
🛠 Purchase a wind-resistant garage door, water tanks and a portable pump so you have access to water if you’re cut off.
🛠 If you renovate or upgrade your property, contact your insurance company to discuss what you’re insured for as the value of your property might have increased.
🛠 If you’re buying new property, think about going above the minimum building standard to reduce the future financial impact of extreme weather events.

Often volunteers are called upon to help in the immediate aftermath of disasters. While recovery volunteers are essential, the quiet periods between extreme weather seasons are just as important to act and volunteer.

Here’s how volunteers stepped into to action to prepare the Central Coast community for bushfire.

Now is the time to act. Join the Corps today!
