National Strategy for Disaster Resilience

The National Strategy for Disaster Resilience outlines the Australian government's overall approach to building resilience to disasters, including those related to climate change. Primarily, it emphasizes a collective responsibility in building resilience and therefore encourages capacity building through networks and partnerships between government, civil society, private sector, and a variety of other actors. More specifically, it also calls for creating a National Emergency Management Committee, improving land use and building practices, conducting risk assessments and risk mapping, as well as a number of other functions.
