The bushfires of 2019-20 highlighted the need to build resilience within Australian communities and develop communications and engagement programs that enable residents to think about and respond to natural disasters.
Dr Skye Doherty, A/Prof Elske van de Fliert and Dr Ben Matthews are involved in a project which focuses on north-west Brisbane mountain communities (Mount Glorious and Mount Nebo). Using a design-led research approach researchers will work with the community to explore opportunities for communication and action.
