Societal Resilience
This theme contributes to the creation of well-prepared and resilient communities, identifying success factors so that individuals and organisations are motivated and able to prepare, respond, and recover from natural hazard events. A key to successful outcomes is the participation of communities in the scoping and design of the research and application of research findings to evidence-based policy and practice. This is done both formally through advisory groups and through direct discussions with specific research users at an individual project level.
