Planning Evacuations with Indigenous Communities

Activity: Community Talks, Presentations, Exhibitions and EventsPublic lecture/debate/seminar

Description

Evacuations are challenging for anyone who experiences them, however Indigenous people and communities have distinct needs and can face additional risks throughout these processes. Recognising a gap in policy and practice guidance regarding the evacuation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, the National Indigenous Disaster Resilience program (NIDR), supported by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR) developed the Indigenous Evacuation guide (Evacuation Guide) as a compendium to the AIDR Evacuation Planning Handbook.
