Abstract: | Australia's recently adopted National Strategy for Disaster Resilience recognizes four characteristics of disaster resilient communities: 1) they function well while under stress 2) they adapt successfully 3) they are self-reliant and 4) they have strong social capacity. However important questions are raised. How would progress towards the development of resilient communities be assessed? What are the specific priorities needed to improve resilience for various communities? How should investments to develop disaster resilience be evaluated and reported? This project will develop an Australian Natural Disaster Resilience Index as a tool for assessing, evaluating and reporting resilience to natural hazards in Australia. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ICBR 2015: 5th International Conference on Building Resilience, Newcastle, Australia, 15th - 17th July, 2015 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Building Resilience, p. 496-1-496-13 | Publisher: | University of Newcastle | Place of Publication: | Newcastle, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160403 Social and Cultural Geography | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 440404 Political economy and social change | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 961010 Natural Hazards in Urban and Industrial Environments | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 190401 Climatological hazards (e.g. extreme temperatures, drought and wildfires) | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication |
