Submission to the Senate Select Committee on Australia’s Disaster Resilience Inquiry

The Senate Select Committee on Australia’s Disaster Resilience was appointed in November 2022 to inquire into Australia’s preparedness, response and recovery workforce models, as well as alternative models to disaster recovery.
FRRR’s expertise is in supporting the needs and aspirations of remote, rural and regional communities across Australia. Consequently, FRRR’s submission to this Inquiry is focused on the vital and often under-resourced preparedness and long-term recovery roles played by community organisation.
