Hazard Planning and Resilience

CeRDI is working alongside state-wide and regional emergency planning organisations, environmental management groups, local government, and with communities to implement initiatives to respond appropriately to emergencies and improve responses to mitigate the impacts of natural hazards and emergencies. Innovative technologies, spatial mapping, and eResearch tools are enabling new, more responsive and appropriate methods for planning and responding. Research has also been conducted by CeRDI that informs resilience building in communities affected by natural disaster and emergencies.
