In recent times there has been a lot of talk in government about resilience. As a nation we are reeling from large-scale weather-related events such as the Victorian bushfires, and multiple Queensland floods. I’m not an academic or a climate scientist but I can see that things are changing, and uncertainty is increasing.
Australians are being forced to react dramatically to a range of disruptive events – and we’re unprepared. It’s difficult for emergency services and the military to respond to the surge in scale and frequency of calls for help both in our communities and overseas. Help is too late and not there when it’s needed.
Are you prepared?
