Community resilience in an uncertain future [dvd] : the role of Australian emergency managers.

A research documentary prepared for the Australian Emergency Services Foundation by Tom Lowe.

Emergency Service Organisations (ESOs) cannot create community resilience; instead they can support and enhance community capacity to deal with uncertainty and adapt to change in the future. This research documentary proposes a number of practical steps that ESOs in Australia can take in helping communities prepare to natural hazards such as bushfire, flood or storm events. The film is aimed at emergency managers and is intended to simulate thinking about the kinds of community engagement programmes and approaches that would be most effective and deliverable amongst the many competing and often divergent emergency management objectives.
