Disaster Resilience Website
A new website has been established by Green Cross Australia in partnership with a number of government, media, insurance, property and volunteering organisations and funded by the National Disaster Resilience Program.
This will be a world first portal through which Australia's severe weather history and latest climate data and projections will be visualised by Queenslanders to encourage them to take practical steps to become more self-reliant during major weather events.
HardenUp.org will build community resilience by raising awareness of hazard exposure by (1) identifying their personal risk exposure to cyclone, sever storm and storm surge; (2)take practical actions to reduce hazard exposure; (3) build community resilience by getting involved in local volunteering programs; and (4) adopt sustainable practices. HardenUp.org will be live this month.
