Australia’s Strategy for Disaster Resilience (2011)
In December 2009, COAG agreed to adopt a whole-of-nation resilience-based
approach to disaster management, which recognises that a national, coordinated
and cooperative effort is needed to enhance Australia’s capacity to prepare for,
withstand and recover from disasters. The National Emergency Management
Committee subsequently developed the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience
which was adopted by COAG on 13 February 2011. The purpose of the Strategy is to
provide high-level guidance on disaster management to federal, state, territory
and local governments, business and community leaders and the not-for-profit
sector. While the Strategy focuses on priority areas to build disaster resilient
communities across Australia, it also recognises that disaster resilience is a
shared responsibility for individuals, households, businesses and communities,
as well as for governments. The Strategy is the first step in a long-term,
evolving process to deliver sustained behavioural change and enduring
partnerships. http://www.em.gov.au/Publications/Program%20publications/Pages/NationalStrategyforDisasterResilience.aspx

Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA)
The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) is the first plan to explain, describe and detail the work that is required from all different sectors and actors to reduce disaster losses. It was developed and agreed on with the many partners needed to reduce disaster risk – governments, international agencies, disaster experts and many others – bringing them into a common system of coordination. The HFA outlines five priorities for action, and offers guiding principles and practical means for achieving disaster resilience. Its goal is to substantially reduce disaster losses by 2015 by building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. This means reducing loss of lives and social, economic, and environmental assets when hazards strike.http://www.unisdr.org/we/coordinate/hfa
The Torrens Resilience Institute
The Torrens Resilience Institute has been established at the International
University Precinct in Adelaide, South Australia to improve the capacity of
organisations and societies to respond to disruptive challenges which have the
potential to overwhelm local disaster management capabilities and plans.http://torrensresilience.org/

ANDROID Academic Network
ANDROID is an Erasmus academic network that aims to promote co-operation and innovation among European Higher Education to increase society’s resilience to disasters of human and natural origin. The network’s teaching and research is concerned with what resilience is, what it means to society, and how societies might achieve greater resilience in the face of increasing threats from natural and human induced hazards. The network will create a European approach that will help us understand the attributes that enable physical, socio-cultural, politico-economic and natural systems to adapt, by resistance or changing, in order to reach and maintain an acceptable level of functioning. The network will also raise awareness and promote a common understanding among stakeholders of the importance of disaster resilience education and the essential role of European HEIs in improving society’s ability to increase disaster resilience.http://www.disaster-resilience.net/
ENHANCE PROJECT
Enhancing risk management partnerships for catastrophic natural hazards in Europe. The ENHANCE project will develop new multi-sector partnerships (MSPs) to reduce or redistribute risk from natural hazards, with an important role for the financial sector (e.g. insurers).http://www.enhanceproject.eu/#
Disaster Statistics (Insurance Council of Australia)
The current disaster data in the map below is derived from the submissions of general insurance companies following large events incurring cost to the community and insurers. It does not represent the entire cost of the event, it is only a approximation of the insured loss based upon reported data. The final loss figure for an event can take many years to resolve. Events are only recorded where there is a potential for the insured loss to exceed $10 million. Additionally, many large single losses occur on a day to day basis in Australia that are not part of a larger catastrophe event.
http://www.insurancecouncil.com.au/statistics
Disaster Resilient Australia
Every year, Australian communities face devastating losses caused by disasters. Bushfires, floods, storms, other hazards and their associated consequences have significant impacts on communities, the economy, infrastructure and the environment. In 2009 the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) agreed to adopt a whole-of-nation resilience-based approach to disaster management, which recognises that a national, coordinated and cooperative effort is needed to enhance Australia’s capacity to withstand and recover from emergencies and disasters.
