NRMA Insurance, through its Help Fund initiative, is committing $800,000 over the next two years to introduce a participatory grants program in the Northern Rivers region. In partnership with the Northern Rivers Community Foundation (NRCF), the program empowers locals to shape solutions to strengthen resilience against extreme weather.

Lismore MP Janelle Saffin says Northern Rivers residents are encouraged to put in an Expression of Interest to be on a new community panel and help shape the state's first multi-hazard regional Disaster Adaptation Plan (DAP) to reduce the risk and impact of future disasters.

Thousands of Northern Rivers youth and at least 75 schools are expected to benefit from a $10 million-dollar federal government grant aimed at strengthening community resilience.

People once believed the planet could always accommodate us. That the resilience of the Earth system meant nature would always provide. But we now know this is not necessarily the case. As big as the world is, our impact is bigger.

After the clusterfuck that was Resilience NSW in 2022, premier Dominic Parrottoe recognised the need to face up to the wet future, especially for the Archipelago of Byron Shire.

Resilience is a word bandied about a lot these days. From fires to floods we are being told to build ‘resilient communities’, but it is not just the human aspect that needs resilience. It is also the infrastructure.

Wardell's Community Organised Resilience Effort (CORE) is planning a community event on Saturday to celebrate the way their local community has pulled through the flooding disaster.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a volunteer, the Community Carers and Responders might be where you can lend a hand.

As the impact of climate change continues to make communities vulnerable to heat, drought, flood and fire as the planet heats up communities are looking to come together and plan for the future.

‘Resilience’ has become a buzzword in Australia over the past few years, as communities across the country struggle to cope with fire, floods, and a pandemic.
