Assessing Australia's resilience to natural hazards

This research has developed an index of disaster resilience that is designed to help meet the challenges of Australia’s natural hazards. For the first time, this index will assess and report the state of disaster resilience on a large scale across Australia. The index will use a nationally standardised measure that will make it easy for endusers to identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, to plan future actions, policies and programs, and provide a baseline from which to measure progress in disaster resilience.
