The Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC, in partnership with the University of New England, presents the Australian Disaster Resilience Index, now ready to explore and use at https://adri.bnhcrc.com.au.
In a guided tour of the website, this video runs through what information is in the Index, how to explore the website, use of the map function, understanding the disaster resilience factors and profiles, and how to learn more about the Index.
Backed by years of CRC research at the University of New England, with support from agencies and governments around Australia, the Australian Disaster Resilience Index provides the first nationally standardised snapshot of the capacities for disaster resilience in Australian communities.
Communities, government and emergency services can use the Australian Disaster Resilience Index to take informed and practical steps towards improving the disaster resilience of local communities before, during and after natural hazards.
