Abstract

The NSW Government’s Get Ready NSW program is designed to promote allhazards preparedness and build capabilities for disaster resilience in local communities. The program delivers a suite of tools and resources and fosters community-led preparedness. The involvement of a broader range of organisations across multiple sectors is a key mechanism for building community-wide resilience (Council of Australian Governmnents [COAG] 2011). All communities face multiple hazards; and the 2017 NSW State Level Emergency Risk Assessment (SLERA) (NSW Government 2017) identified a need to develop consistency in all-hazards community preparedness activities at the local level.
