Mark Crosweller, Head of National Resilience Taskforce, gives a talk on the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework at the @unimelb's Centre for Disaster Management and Public Safety (CDMPS ).
The Framework sets a new vision for reducing disaster risk in Australia.

@SiddheshMG Thanks for the heads up - we'll take a look!

[CDMPS @UoMCDMPS]

Now more than ever, we need research that will help us prepare for the extreme events that have become commonplace in today’s world. This piece explores how our @UoMCDMPS disaster modelling could help us build a more disaster-resilient future: https://t.co/DhEMGuobZF.

Today, on the 10th anniversary of Black Saturday, we would like to acknowledge the enduring impact of disaster and recognise our affected communities. We thank our collaborator Prof Lisa Gibbs @BeyondBushfires for her research into community recovery: https://t.co/RDKQWHrLap.

Today marks 10 years since Black Saturday, the nation’s deadliest bushfires. Dr Benny Chen from the @UoMCDMPS can talk about a new fire incident report system that can visualise volunteer firefighting capacity across Victoria. https://t.co/lpelknBRTm

[Victorian Government @VicGovAu]

Today is the tenth anniversary of Black Saturday. We remember the people who died, and those whose lives changed forever. We also remember the emergency services, the agencies, and the volunteers who helped with an event that was too great to deal with alone. We remember.

Dr Benny Chen from the @UoMCDMPS can talk about a new fire incident report system that can visualise volunteer firefighting capacity across Victoria and analyses past fire and emergency surge capacity responses from 1999 – 2015.

Congrats @GFoliente, @yiqunc81, and @rajabifard!

Delighted to see that our research on the zombie apocalypse 🧟‍♀️ with @xbox made the @engunimelb best innovations of 2018 list! See the full list below 👇https://t.co/pedFsyYns4

#Earthquakes and #tsunami accounted for the majority of 10,300 lives lost in 2018 but extreme weather events accounted for most of the 61.7 million people affected by natural hazards #climatechange #flood #storm #drought #ResilienceForAll #SendaiFramework

“Most transformations require altering, or rewiring, the way that power and resources are structured and how they move through societies.” How do we rewire power dynamics & resource management in practice to prevent the dominance of developed nations over #sustainabledevelopment?

Our Deputy Director @GFoliente was featured in an @abcnews story this summer on #disasters in Indonesia.

Can we do better in 2019?
20 YEAR DISASTERS SCORECARD
Climate disasters = 91% of total
Extreme weather = 77% US$3 trillion losses;
#Floods #drought #storms = 94% people affected;
#Earthquakes & #tsunamis = 56% deaths;

According to @unisdr 87% of disaster-related spending goes on response, reconstruction & rehabilitation. Just 13% goes towards managing the root risks which cause disasters in the first place. It would be much cheaper to invest in #resilience #SendaiFramework

[UNDRR @UNDRR]

World Bank to give climate change adaptation equal emphasis with investments that reduce emissions, including $50 bln to adapt homes, school, infrastructure, agriculture as well as early warning systems for 30 developing countries #SendaiFramework #COP24
