About Disaster Assist
Disaster Assist provides information on assistance for current disasters and links to assistance and responses to previous disasters that have impacted Australians, both in Australia and overseas. Disaster Assist will also increasingly include information on building resilience to better prepare for and withstand the impacts of disasters.
Community Resilience involves helping Australians prepare for, cope with and recover from the adverse social and community impacts of disasters through the interrelated domains of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery with the end goal of achieving resilience – an improved/strengthened state, based on learnings from disasters.
