Our friends at Resilient Lismore are hosting an online seminar, ‘Meet Your Local Emergency Managers’, on Tuesday 23 September 2025, 2:30–4:00pm (via Teams).

Plenty of time for Q&A.

In times of crisis, we have a choice: do we prepare as survivalists, focused only on ourselves? Or do we embrace a relationist ethos, recognising that true resilience is built through relationships; caring for each other, the land, and our communities?
Plan C and The Returning are offering a five-day Culture Camp in October, where disaster resilience is grounded in connection, shared knowledge, and Indigenous ways of being and doing. We’d love you to attend…

Join our Community Carers and Responders network!
Join our Community Carers and Responders network!

The CCR network supports greater crisis prevention, preparedness, response and recovery at the community level. It does so by setting up a network of volunteer CCRs, who form a trained and connected network of leaders dedicated to community cohesion and resilience.
CCRs receive 5 days of free training, which include self-care, disaster resilience, community building, emergency communications as well as food, water, and energy security, but also complete a day of first aid and a day of psychological first aid. Upon graduation, participants receive a CCR cap, t-shirt and solid first-aid kit, and are then mentored to lead a project that builds the resilience of their own community. Finally, they are regularly invited to additional workshops, community events, and field visits to deepen their knowledge but also connections with each other.
We will soon provide opportunities to join the CCR network. Subscribe to our newsletter (at the bottom of this page) to receive the latest updates!
