Diversity and inclusion in emergency management: from policy to practice | Online forum recording

This is a recording of the Diversity and inclusion in emergency management: from policy to practice online forum, hosted by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC in partnership with Women and Firefighting Australasia, Victoria University, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

This live online forum took place on 2 December 2020 across several locations in Australia and New Zealand with a panel of expert speakers to discuss how to effectively implement diversity and inclusion policies in emergency management sector practices.

Chapters:

• 0:00 Introduction - MC Loriana Bethune, Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC
• 3:35 Celeste Young, Victoria University & Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC
• 19:28 Quinn Cramer, Queensland Fire and Emergency Services & Women and Firefighting Australasia
• 29:57 Rachael Utumapu, Fire and Emergency New Zealand
• 41:48 Q&A session

The forum saw a fantastic discussion on diversity and inclusion, and plenty of thought-inspiring questions came through that couldn’t be answered in the hour of the event, so all the panellists recorded a follow up panel Q&A session to keep this important discussion going and answer all the questions received. That video is available to watch here.
