National Indigenous Disaster Resilience program
Our vision
Safe, strong and sustainable Indigenous peoples and communities
Our purpose
To enhance the resilience of Indigenous communities in the face of increasing disasters
National Indigenous Disaster Resilience is a research program within Fire to Flourish. This program was established in 2022 in recognition of the disproportionate impact that natural hazards have had, and will continue to have, on Indigenous peoples and communities.
NIDR champions Indigenous leadership in disaster resilience through research with Indigenous communities across Australia.
NIDR is working directly with Indigenous leaders and communities across Australia to:
- create new knowledge through research
- advocate for the needs of Indigenous peoples and communities before, during and after disasters
- bring Indigenous, emergency management and disaster resilience leaders together
- facilitate Indigenous leadership
