Re-imaging resilience to save jobs and livelihoods

Disasters can disrupt individuals, businesses and communities in many ways – disasters are not limited to bushfires or pandemics.
RAA is leading a holistic approach to national resilience by building an ecosystem of solutions to all types of disasters.
If we don’t work together to build a new culture of national resilience the consequences are clear:
- More business closures and unemployment
- More mental health issues and suicides
- More domestic violence and child abuse
- More vulnerable people below the poverty line
Investing in business resilience invests in community resilience too.
Sharing the responsibility to build national resilience
RAA’s Disaster Resilience for Business Hub is a co-design model creating programs, tools and solutions relevant to every business type, size and industry.
Solutions that increase disaster:
- Risk understanding and reduction
- Preparedness and planning; and,
- Resilience including social capital
Activating small steps to deliver big change, RAA’s everyday solutions will create sustainable businesses and communities that thrive.
All RAA outcomes will deliver to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – as well as other local, State/Territory, national and international blueprints.
Connect with us to discuss the role your organisation or industry sector can play in sharing the responsibility of national resilience.
